Marine Corps to Issue Enhanced Combat Helmet to Every Marine
Posted By: Matthew Cox June 12, 2017
Marine Corps Systems Command has awarded a $51 million contract to Gentex Corporation to provide the Enhanced Combat Helmet, or ECH, to every Marine.
Since 2014, Marines have only been issued the ECH when they prepare for deployment. This purchase will enable Marines to use the helmet during training as well, eliminating the need to trade helmets before and after deployments, according to a Marine Corps Systems Command press release.
