A new helmet under development by the U.S. Army promises to reduce the weight of a soldier’s protective head cover, bringing it down to World War II-levels. The new Advanced Combat Helmet Generation II will be easier on a soldier’s neck muscles than ever before while protecting the wearer from head injuries.

It sounds like the priority is shaving a few ounces off the weight of the helmet. How the hell do you get protection for the side of the head? It does not add up.

I know we can do better than the current helmet. Glad to see we are working on it and can't wait to see the testing info.
