With the premiere of “Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse” On Amazon Prime Video yesterday, 5.11 has teamed up again with world’s biggest online retailer and Higher Ground for the celebration of the Military Appreciation Month. This time they air dropped gift packages to three deserving veterans in the Los Angeles area.

According to 5.11, the veterans were selected by Higher Ground foundation, and they received packages worth US$400 from 5.11 which were delivered by the delivery drones of Amazon. The air drop operation was called “Operation: Without Remorse Drone Drop” which is part of the promotion of the adaptation for the screen of the novel of Tom Clancy which is about the origins of John Clark a former Navy SEAL who then worked for the CIA and then became the Director of Rainbow Six. “Without Remorse” is the first Tom Clancy novel about another character apart from the Jack Ryan in the Ryanvesrse of Tom Clancy novels.

Amazon Prime Air is the planned drone delivery service that Amazon has been testing. First revealed in 2013, the company received an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate in August 2020 which brings the company closer to start doing drone deliveries commercially. Its first test delivery was conducted in Cambridge, England in 2016. Amazon Prime Air promises to delivery packages in 30 minutes using drones and is expected to be conducting commercial operations this year.
