US Army Gen 2 IOTV Deltoid Protector, UCP

Description

This is for One (1) Deltoid Protector, Not Sold As Pairs.

This is a deltoid protector in UCP is for the US Army Improved Outer Tactical Vest. When worn with the IOTV it increases your threat protection by covering outside of your deltoids and upper arm. With the Small Arms Protective Insert it provides protection from fragmentation and 9mm bullets, the same as the IOTV. The deltoid protector attaches directly to the vest with a strap going through the body armor shoulder strap and a strap that goes around your arm.

Features:

• Compatible With The IOTV – Fits the Improved Outer Tactical Vest that is used in the US Army.
• Universal Camouflage Pattern, UCP – Following in the steps of the USMC and its adoption of a digital camo, the US Army adopted the Universal Camo Pattern in 2004. The pattern was designed to function suitably in any environment. The overall intention of a camo capable of that is to remove the need to issue a camo pattern for each potential combat zone and environment, thus making the production and issuing of camo easy to troops. The camo was adopted and saw use in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where it would perform at best adequately. As a result of the camo not performing as good as intended the US Army began looking for a replacement. By 2011 the US Army would test in a variation of UCP, UCP-D, against Multicam in Afghanistan in the search for a replacement. By 2012 all US Army Soldiers deploying as combat troops to Afghanistan would be issued uniforms and gear in Multicam and UCP would be phased out of service in 2019 as a service camo. UCP would commonly come to be referred to as ACU, based of the adoption of the ACU pattern uniform that was adopted at the same time, much the same as the woodland camo came to be called BDU.
