Out with the old, in with the new. Colonel William Cole tells us why the improved
Outer Tactical Vest beats the old version. What I think the IOTV means for troops
is even better ballistic protection in terms of square inches of coverage around
their body and lighter weight than the older OTV.
Today many of our soldiers are being injured by fragments from IEDs.
The IOTV gives them the best protection they can expect to have
in case of an IED strike. PEO Soldier is committed to making sure that
our soldiers have the very best body armor available,
and we're very confident that we're giving them the best today.
From the original OTV in 1998 to today's Generation II IOTV,
we've always made sure that the specification has always increased incrementally.
And what they're getting today is the very best available.
