Army Unveils New Army Combat Shirt

Week of May 14, 2007

The Army Program Executive Office Soldier will soon provide an improved Army combat shirt to Soldiers deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. The flame-resistant long-sleeved shirt, which retains the moisture-wicking capability, breatheability, and durability of other components in the ACU, also has many of its other features, including cargo pockets, infrared identification tabs, and hook-and-loop fasteners for the American flag. The high performance shirt is designed to be a base layer and can be worn directly under the Interceptor Body Armor. The shirt integrates with other flame-resistant components, such as the Army combat pants, to provide head-to-toe protection against burns.
