Iraqi Body Armor

This is a little unusual, but thought some may like to see foreign body armor in use with US Special Forces soldiers during GWOT (Global War on Terror). 

 

This is some Iraqi body armor that was used in the early days of Iraqi Freedom (2004 to 2006 most likely) and was used by both the Iraqi Army and the Iraqi 36 Commandos.  The 36 Commandos were advised, trained, and led by US Special Forces.  Apparently, this body armor was also used in a limited capacity by the USSF Advisors.  I don't think it was common, but it did happen.  This particular vest came out of the Ft. Bragg area.image.png.781faab3dc8ef16b9979c3626429db97.pngimage.png.7ad479bf9dbe348eff2832790f055d02.pngimage.png.4aa91a1416ea7dc1691d99ce84f37369.png
