The Special Operations Group Unit currently has the Eagle UAV in its inventory and is using it as the required duty uniform for the majority of its missions. SOG members wear the UAV for training and on tactical missions as well as during overseas missions. SOG also issues the UAV to candidates when they successfully complete the SOG Selection Courses. To promote standardization, familiarization and eliminate the need for costly re-outfitting, SOG has added to its inventory the Eagle Urban Assault Vest. SOG currently has some soft armor that is going to expire this year. The expired soft armor will be used for training purposes. SOG staggered the purchasing of armor currently issued to members by years. In the upcoming years, soft armor that was purchased in 2008 or 2009 will soon expire. With regards to the new model UAV being issed Marshals Service wide, it is slightly different than the current SOG UAV issued to members in 2007/2008. SOG is purchasing a limited number of the new UAV's to test and evaluate.
