	Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops Helmet
		The Personnel Armor System Ground Troops (PASGT) helmet (also known as the “Helmet, Ground Troops and Parachutists,” the “K-pot” or the “Kevlar”) is the standard infantry helmet.
		The suspension system and headband are 1.5 inches wide and hook/loop tape is used to attach the headband to the suspension assembly.
		In cases where the PASGT or ACH helmets are fitted or worn improperly, the Soldier is exposed to increased risk of injury due to ballistic threats (fragmentation) or concussion.

	Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops Helmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Personal Armor System Ground Troops Helmet (PASGT, pronounced 'Pass-get')—also known as the "Fritz" helmet after its resemblance to the German Stahlhelm—is a Kevlar helmet issued as standard infantry combat wear in the US Military.
		The PASGT Helmet is said to have stopped rifle rounds on occasion, most commonly 7.62 x 39 mm (AK-47) rounds (in one account the PASGT helmet is credited with stopping an AK-47 round from approximately 25 metres range).
		Unlike the M1 Helmet, the PASGT Helmet cannot be used as a cooking pot or wash basin as these uses will degrade the Kevlar.

	Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops Vest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops Vest was the United States Military's standard kevlar body armor from the early 1980's until approximately 2004, when it was replaced by the Interceptor body armor.
		The PASGT Vest itself replaced the Vietnam War-era M-1969 nylon vest and used Kevlar for the first time in the United States military's body armor.
		While incapable of stopping bullets from an automatic rifle, the PASGT Vest provided better protection against shrapnel and reduced the severity of injuries from small arms fire when compared to the M-1969.

	Army denies the helmet chinstrap problem then "sees the light" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is why motorcycle and bike helmets have surrounded the entire head with shock absorbing material so the inside wall of the helmet does not smash against the skull and injure it with concussion and collapse.
		The helmet consisted of a one-piece steel bowl with a head suspension system and hinged earplates or cheekplates which extended down on to the sides of the face in line with the leather flyer's helmet.
		The initial impetus to the development of body armor for the American flyer was due to the research and field testing which the British had performed in an attempt to develop some form of personnel armor for their ground troops operating in North Africa.

		A project that began in 1999, the helmet is part of the redesign of all individual equipment for Marines, according to Jim Mackiewicz, Marine Corps Customer Team leader at the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center.
		The helmet's shell is shaped like the PASGT, but new materials bring a 6 percent improvement in fragmentation protection as well as the ability to stop a direct hit from a 9mm round.
		As the helmet's name suggests, the extra capability was designed with a corresponding weight reduction of about one-half pound.

		To protect some of the most vulnerable personnel on the battlefield—turret gunners, who in particular are exposed to roadside bombs—the Defense Department’s Joint IED Task Force funded the development of a Cupola Protective Ensemble.
		The system was developed quickly to meet an urgent request early this summer from the II Marine Expeditionary Force, Leimbach said.
		This prototype provides more room in the back, so that the body armor doesn’t push the helmet forward when the shooter is on his belly.” The Marines have a platoon deployed with the sniper helmet and are awaiting feedback.

		September 4, 2005: The U.S. Army is starting to distribute the new ACH (Advanced Combat Helmet) head gear on a wide scale, and expects the ACH to have replaced all the current PASGT helmets by the end of the decade.
		The PASGT (Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops), was introduced in the early 1980s.
		The only problem with the new armor, aside from up to eight pounds of additional weight (depending on how many of the small plates are used), is that it cannot be manufactured quickly enough to replace the hundreds of thousands of older type vests already in use.

		The Improved Tactical Headset is designed to protect Soldiers’ hearing and to allow them to communicate in the high-noise environment of the M1114 up-armored HMMWVs and other light tactical vehicles being used by the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan.
		Designed to fit under the standard U.S. Army Personnel Armor System Ground Troops helmet and the newer Advanced Combat Helmet, the ITH provides hearing protection through both active and passive noise reduction technologies and enables Soldiers to communicate in the high-noise environment - up to 95-plus decibels -- typical of the M1114 up-armored HMMWV.
		Also, he said, the new ITH can be put on or quickly removed without requiring Soldiers to remove their helmet -- “this is an absolute requirement for Soldiers who might have to quickly dismount from their HMMWV for combat or security operations,” said Claiborne.

		The Army is scrambling to acquire sufficient quantities of improved tactical headsets (ITHs), which are designed to protect soldiers' hearing and to allow them to communicate in the high-noise environment of the M1114 up-armored HMMWVs (High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles) and other light tactical vehicles being used by the Army in Iraq.
		Designed to fit under the standard U.S. Army personnel armor system ground troops helmet and the newer advanced combat helmet, the ITH provides hearing protection through both active and passive noise reduction technologies and enables soldiers to communicate in the high-noise environment (up to 95-plus decibels) that is typical of the M1114 up-armored HMMWV.
		Soldiers can wear the ITH for extremely long periods without discomfort because of the reduced clamping force on their ears and its light weight (only about 16 ounces).
