For the uninformed it means if "You ain't Tracks- You ain't Shit"
NOTE: There are alot of Australian Uniforms attached to the Combat Assault Battalion for this exercise. You can blow it off and state that its just a one off but I beg to differ. I'm seeing a concentrated effort by the Australian Army to develop a group of amphibious experts...following the US method of operations. Remember they could have easily partnered with the British Royal Marines and developed a commando type force but haven't. This is good news for both forces. Also. Isn't it time for a new Crewman Helmet? John says they already did it. Good.
It's actually a pretty good helmet system. All you have to do is take the shell and replace the inserts. Works really well and is simple to fix in the field.
ReplyDeletei was thinking about lightening up the shell and making the comm system smaller and lighter
ReplyDeleteWell the system is pretty light, its just basic kevlar. And the comm has to be roboust with the salt water and humidity. It's been a good system that we've just upgraded the insert I think 2 years ago? Tanks use the same system
