U.S. Army equipment officials said last week that the service's new helmet system, with includes detachable face and neck protection, saved a soldier's life recently in Afghanistan, blocking a brick that was thrown by an angry mob.
The armor crewman, who was in the turret of an unidentified combat vehicle manning his weapon when a crowd on the street below became violent, was wearing what is known as maxillofacial protection connected to his new Integrated Head Protective System (IHPS), Army equipment officials said at the Association of the United States Army's 2019 annual meeting.
