From September 26th to 28th, 2018, Milforce Equipment Co., Ltd. will participate in ADAS 2018 (3rd Asian Defense, Security & Crisis Management Exhibition & Conference).
Do you know what the ADAS is? Let’s introduce it to you!
Exclusivity
ADAS 2018 is the only tri-service Defense and Security Exhibition that comprehensively addresses the diverse requirements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, as well as its many homeland security and crisis and disaster response agencies.
Decision makers from the AFP’s army, navy, and air force will be invited by the Department of National Defense, as well as their regional counterparts from around the Asia Pacific.
Market Potential
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is emerging from what has essentially been a lost decade in terms of modernization and procurement opportunities as defense and security policy had been focused for years on combatting insurgency.
Since 2010 the Philippine Government has taken concrete steps to boost the ability of the armed forces to secure the nation’s interests, primarily through a revised AFP Modernization Act introduced in December 2012 to procure urgently required equipment and infrastructural improvements.
The commitment to national defense has never been stronger. In December 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law an overall defense budget of PHP149 billion (USD2.9 billion) for 2018. The government subsequently also allocated another USD500 million specifically to procure new equipment for the AFP.
Milforce exhibits
At the ADAS 2018 show, the main exhibits exhibited by Milforce are military boots. Military boots include office shoes, tactical boots, leather boots, jungle boots and desert boots and so on.
For the military boot market in the Philippines, this time Milforce prepared a full 48 samples for the exhibition.
Among them, three new samples of olive green boots are highly recommended.
The olive green design of the whole boots allows the soldiers to hide in the jungle without being discovered by the enemy. At the same time, the venting hole and side zipper design can keep the desert military boots dry and easy to wear and take off.
The Model 4125 ankle tactical boot is a newly developed shoeless design that eliminates the need to waste time tying the laces. The nylon and shrink ring design quickly adapts to all sizes of feet and closes the ankle.
Model 5238 is the star of this exhibition. As a new design of lightweight jungle boots, we have taken advantage of other brand military boots to avoid weaknesses. It reduces the weight of the jungle boots and upgrades the material of the upper, which is breathable and lightweight, which restores the true characteristics of the jungle boots to the greatest extent.

Sourcing complex, high-stakes products internationally requires precise logistics management and deep operational awareness. Global trade moves quickly, and unexpected supply chain disruptions happen almost daily across major shipping routes.
Procuring tactical and defense footwear requires moving past marketing claims. You must validate hard evidence. The gap between a commercial shoe factory and a legitimate defense contractor is immense. We measure this gap in compliance, testing data, and supply chain transparency.
Law enforcement officers endure grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts. They carry 20 to 30 pounds of heavy gear daily. They navigate hard concrete surfaces and unpredictable, shifting terrain. This immense physical toll demands highly specialized footwear.
Sourcing tactical footwear from overseas manufacturers offers distinct margin and scalability advantages. However, it presents high risks in quality control, end-user safety, and import compliance. Procurement officers often rely on superficial product labels.
Relying solely on standard-issue footwear for a desert deployment introduces unnecessary mission risks. You face severe blistering daily. You also encounter season-specific temperature vulnerabilities. Basic government-issued boots meet minimum functional requirements.
"Quality" often serves as an overused buzzword in footwear manufacturing. This term frequently masks deep inconsistencies across production lines. B2B buyers rightfully approach new suppliers with heavy skepticism. In mass production, true quality is not an abstract concept.
When you purchase bulk military footwear, it is essential to request important quality documents such as product specifications, material certificates, and test reports. These documents demonstrate the quality of each batch and help you avoid legal issues.
