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.

IOTV = MINATURE EOD BOMB SUITS great one ! I felt like Frankenstein&#39;s monster wearing IOTV !

How many years were in Afghanistan before plate carriers were issued out, like 6 or 7? SPC David Willis Thu, 18 Jan 2018 10:59:43 -0500 2018-01-18T10:59:43-05:00 2015-02-10T22:55:42-05:00
