If you’re ready to see the future of the Army, then visit the Program Executive Officer Soldier Display from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 26 and 27 at the Special Events Building, Bldg. 237 on Rhine Ordnance Barrack.
The next generation of Army gear, including the most technologically advanced weapons systems, cutting-edge communication technology, innovative clothing and
ground-breaking equipment, will be on display.
PEO Soldier is the Army organization responsible for every item of clothing and piece of equipment Soldiers wear or carry.
Some of the display highlights will include: Interceptor Body Armor with Improved Outer Tactical Vest and associated plates, Advanced Combat Helmet with ballistic protective nape pad and helmet sensors, Electronic Data Manager, Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System and Thermal Weapon Sights, among others.
In the past, Soldiers were outfitted with one piece of equip-ment at a time. Little or no regard was given to how the individual pieces worked together.
But PEO Soldier looks at Soldiers as systems.
This concept evaluates how each piece of equipment works together. As a result, Soldiers are now better equipped and protected, redundancies in equipment have been eliminated and levels of effectiveness and comfort have been increased, according to the PEO Soldier Web site.
At the Kaiserslautern display, you can also preview the new Army Service Uniform, which simplifies the current uniform while preserving tradition and providing quality, fit and convenience.
The new uniform is to be available in military clothing stores by summer 2010, and Soldiers will be required to have it by the end of fiscal 2014, according to the PEO Soldier Web site.
Visit the PEO Soldier display and see it and the future of the Army.
