What Type of Body Armor Does the Military Use? Jan 2023

The Ballistic Combat Shirt
The Ballistic Combat Shirt is replacing the old Deltoid Axillary Protector, which was developed in the early phase of the Iraq War, bulky, and prone to snagging. The new shirt has soft armor on the shoulders, high chest, high back, and neck, protecting against shrapnel and 9mm rounds. It is more concealable and is made to be worn under a vest.
Aside from that, the shirt includes a new zipper and mandarin-style collar that prevents rubbing and chafing against the skin around the neck. Improved comfort means better performance for all military wearers.
