Camelbak MilSpec Antidote chosen as new USMC hydration reservior

This is a service specific version that is shaped to fit the FILBE Marine Corps Pack System hydration carrier. Camelbak will introduce the commercial MilSpec Antidote reservoir that will have features that the Corps felt it didn't need for the FILBE fielding.
