Soldier Systems

Without explanation, Army G-1 has withdrawn the ACS ALARACT we reported on here. The ACS continues to be worn but apparently without wear guidance.

Both the Army and Marine Corps have been discussing development of a “winter” weight combat shirt. The Marines are very satisfied with the Combat Desert Jacket, but are looking for something in FR. It has been described as a pullover with a “ventable” neck. The body would be FR fleece with a means to secure the waist. The arm sections would be manufactured from a wind and weather resistant material. An RFP should be issued in a few months.

Update: 10 June, 2008. This item showed up on eBay.
