Will the military continue to design and issue gear that makes sense, or do you think that we will go back to strictly using miniture EOD Bomb suits such as the IOTV with all of its fun and quirky attachments. 2015-02-10T22:55:42-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 469043

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hopefully the military will continue the trend of gear that makes sense. IOTV = MINATURE EOD BOMB SUITS great one ! I felt like Frankenstein&#39;s monster wearing IOTV !

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would imagine itll take several years in a new theatre to get gear that makes sense. How many years were in Afghanistan before plate carriers were issued out, like 6 or 7?
