The influential UK defence analysis platform Think Defence — which had first featured EasiBridge in its landmark 2018 article — returned to the system in a new piece titled “The Adaptable Load Carrier.” The article explored options for infantry load carriage and logistics innovation, and used EasiBridge as a prime example of the kind of modular, man-portable capability that modern dismounted infantry forces need.
The piece specifically cited EasiBridge as one of the key load types that an adaptable carrier system would need to support, alongside NLAWs, stretchers, and water bowsers — placing EasiBridge firmly in the company of in-service British Army equipment. Think Defence described potential carrier configurations for “a carrier for an Easibridge or NLAW, a water bowser or stretcher” — the kind of casual, matter-of-fact inclusion that signals a system has moved from emerging technology to accepted capability.
The article attracted 5 reader comments and significant engagement across the Think Defence community — one of the most active and well-informed defence analysis audiences in the UK. For anyone researching lightweight military engineering equipment, portable infantry bridging systems, dismounted force mobility solutions, or modular British Army field equipment, Think Defence remains one of the most authoritative independent sources — and its continued engagement with EasiBridge in 2023 confirms the system’s enduring relevance to the British military conversation.
