Topic: Body armor upgrade could save US Marines

Yeah, that's the idea. Especially if it's something modular so you can change out your protection/weight based on the mission profile.

So if your infantry unit is assaulting an isolated chain of caves in dense mountains you can take off the extra weight.
Then if you're transfered to Baghdad on your next deployment where you spend your time in a central base and go out on patrols or raids you'd be using more armor.
