Over the past thirty years, significant technological improvements have been made in materials need for ballistic protection. Incorporations of this cutting edge body armor technology will pay off with reduced thermal burden, diminished aircrew fatigue, and increased human performance. A review of existing work done by the US Navy and US Army on body armor was completed. The US Army's Survival and Rescue Vest Integrated packets (SARVIP) program has completed the entire acquisition process and is in full scale development. Regarding the requirement for body armor, AFSOC chose to purchase off-the-shelf body armor that met their needs. AFSOC's special missions group assessed the US Army test and evaluation data, and the integration of off-the-shelf armor with SARVIP in the aircraft in which the crews would be flying. Armstrong Laboratory's Crew Technology Division (AL/CFT) recommended that the LPU-21/P/P be integrated with the SARVIP and engineering drawings were developed for attachment points on the vest. It was therefore concluded that the current commercially available body armor technology, need in combination with the US Army's SARVIP equipment, when modified as specified by AL/CITS, will meet AFSOC requirements.

This book outlines how to reorganize the U.S. Army into a fully 2 and 3-Dimensional maneuver capable, ground force with terrain-agile, armored fighting vehicles sized to rapidly deploy by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to the scene of world conflicts and strike at the heart of freedom's enemies. The plan to build the Army into Air-Mech-Strike Forces, exploiting emerging information-age technologies, as well as America's supremacy in aircraft and helicopter delivery systems---at the lowest cost to the taxpayers, is described in detail. These Army warfighting organizations, using existing and some newly purchased equipment, will shape the battlefield to America's advantage, preserving the peace before it is lost; if not, then winning fights that must be fought quickly. The dangerous world we live in moves by the speed of the AIR, and the 21st Century U.S. Army 2D/3D combat team will dominate this medium by Air-Mech-Strike!
