Answer 1

This sounds like another OPSEC controlled answer.

@dded : You do not buy anything the military requires you to have they supply it. You pay for what you lose or destroy and can't prove lose or destruction due to combat.

Answer 2

The Interceptor Body Armor System (IBAS) is level III-A.

There are no Level IV systems. Level IV protection is usually achieved by adding a plate or pad to cover a specific point. General Level IV protection would be so heavy and cumbersome with current materials as to be impractical.

Answer 3

You'll get the best that's available to your unit at the time it's being issued. If you were actually IN the military you wouldn't even be asking. What you WON'T get is anything of intelligence value on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 4

You get the highest level possible, at least for front and back torso protection. The plates you wear in the body armor are roughly an inch and a quarter thick.

Answer 5

In the military you are assigned equipment. You have to buy it from them but they don't give you a choice as to what to get. I'm hoping that we get the new Dragonskin body armor.

Answer 6

Are you active duty or are you going to be where you will be shot at? Then you should know this. Why you are here asking this question makes me go hmmmmmm...

ACC(AW/SW)
USN ret.

Answer 7

Depends on where you are but I will not answer who gets what as it is an OPSEC issue

Answer 8

hope we get that new dragonskin in the near future
