Keeping Cool in the Gulf

We think it gets hot in the states during some Summer months. However our military men and women in Iraq and Kuwait routinely experience temperatures which exceed 120 degrees. To make matters worse, Soldiers can't run around on the battle fields wearing shorts and a tank top. Instead, they perform their missions wearing several pounds of body armor.

The Army may have found a way to help recude heat-related injuries in Kuwat and Iraq and keep our soliders more comfortable with their newly-developed Body Ventilation System.
