Best Armor for Troops - What Is Dragon Skin?

What is Dragon Skin?

Dragon Skin is a revolutionary armor that currently is the best available armor. There are many sites that describe this armor in detail. It has been available since 1996 and has been constantly improved by then and currently exceeds NIJ Level IV certification, which is classified. Please check our Multimedia Section that has links to some amazing video that I would ask everyone who visits this site to watch. They show how well the Dragon Skin vest performs and how it better protects our troops.

What is the purpose of this website?

This site is to bring to light the ineffective armor that is being worn by the troops and to describe the best available armor that should be given to the troops.

For whatever reason the troops are being issued or required to purchase Interceptor OTV (Outer Tactical Vest) body armor or for the Marine Corps. this is called Modular Tactical Vest (MTV). The MTV is a marginal improvement on the OTV design and is still not the best armor available.

The US Army in Directive SOUM (Safety of Use Message) 06-017 entitled "Discontinue Use of Unauthorized Body Armor, Dragon Skin", is a directive that denies troops who have even bought this armor themselves the ability to wear it.

While the US Marine Corps. does not have a directive like this it is up to the local Marine Commander on whether their troops can wear commercially available armor, such as Dragon Skin. To the best of my knowledge there are very few commanders who have allowed the use of this revolutionary new armor.

What can you do?

After reading this information and viewing all this site has to offer I'm sure you're asking yourself "What can I do?" This is an issue that transcends Democrat, Republican, or Independent. This isn't an issue about whether you support the war or not. This is about our troops and protecting them until they come home.

We are asking that all individuals that go through this site send a link to their friends and family. Please write your Congressman or Congresswoman, your Senator, and members of the media.

We need to come together in this time of need for our troops. Will you help? I hope so. Please review this information and let's get the word our so our troops have everything they need to come home safe and sound.
