Cavalry unit puts armor to test

 When Soldiers on the frontlines are in the midst of an operation, the last thing they need to be uncertain about is whether their protective equipment will hamper their combat effectiveness.

Before new equipment gets to the frontlines, it is put to the test by Soldiers.

Company B, 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment "Garryowen," 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, partnered with the U.S. Army Operational Test Command to put the Soldier Protection System through its paces here, March 10.
