Question about the Marine Corps?

Question

Do you think the Marine Corps will take in Dragon Skin is as its new body armor since the army didnt......i heard that the body armor fails around hot temps like 100 or above but i seen Special Forces wearing them in afghanistan recently...but about the defects did they army make that up just not to pay the higher price for it or?? also if the body really does fail around hot temps did they ever fix the problem them?

Answer 1

Different type question.  Sometimes the Corps does take on equipment/weapons/gear the Army does not.  This would be a big contract lots of money and the Corps works on a smaller budget.
