PJMedia: As part of the military’s ongoing efforts to accommodate soldiers of all shapes and sizes, the U.S. Army is in the process of developing the Army Tactical Brassiere (ATB). Prototypes are currently undergoing testing at the Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center (DEVCOM) in Natick, Mass.
The ATB design and development process kicked off with a soldier-centric survey administered through Soldier Touchpoints. “Soldier touch points… are immersive testing and feedback mechanisms through which Soldiers can provide valuable insights on how certain tools or equipment undergoing development will be used practically in the field,” explains the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC):
DEVCOM Soldier Center began issuing prototype sports bras to female Soldiers in October and November as part of a touch point designed to assess whether new, high-impact sports brassiere concepts developed as part of the Army Tactical Brassiere (ATB) program would provide optimum support, durability and comfort for combat and training use.
“The overall goal is to produce garments that not only protect the user, but reduce the cognitive burden on the female Soldier caused by discomfort and ill fit,” said Ashley Cushon, clothing designer and project lead for the ATB at the DEVCOM Soldier Center. “Achieving this will improve the Soldier’s overall readiness and performance levels, allowing them to focus on their mission,” she explained.
Female soldiers weighed in on the qualities and functionality they were looking for in their over-the-shoulder holsters, and the goal of developing a “tactical rather than sportswear item” was established. more here
It may be very advantageous when we’re forced to provide ‘tit for tat’.
Handy Dandy Flopper Stoppers!
Can’t they just recycle those warhead bras that were popular back in the 50s?
Strap Com Plans. SAC APPROVED. GO TEAM(s)
War is Hell
Are they making these bras for the women in Rush’s fabled All American Amazon Brigade? Hopefully they won’t be one size fits all or most. I assume that the warhead bras must be the pointy ones that a lot of the women in 50 movies wore. Hubba, hubba!
Bring back the bullet bra. Win-win for morale. Just sayin…
Wonder who will win the contract, Glock or Sig Sauer?
belt or clip fed?
Is your Bra loaded or are you just happy to see me??
Brassier development…touch point?!
Is that for tweaking the design?
Trans sizing?
I’ll volunteer for the test trials!
Truckbuddy, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior or Playtex.
If you are surrounded by the enemy just drop down on all fours and MOOOO!
So now they are creating lethal Double-barreled Slingshots. Guaranteed to crush a face on each shoulder swing during hand-to-hand combat.
There was a woman at work that we used to call ‘old torpedo tits’ Yeah, we were crude.
By naming it a ‘Tactical’ Bra old Dick Cheney will be able to bill the Defense Department an extra sur charge on each Bra procured!
I think I remember a better one in either a Matt Helm or In like Flint movie many years ago.
That Bra is probably smarter tactically than the yahoos running the Dept of Defense and all the Four Stars collectively!
I noticed DOD was nice enough to include a white woman in their photo, but they made sure she wasn’t prettier than the POC women.
geoff
“Truckbuddy, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior or Playtex.”
More likely “Body by Halliburton”, and they’re only $999 each.
Is this real stupidity? Or some Babylon Bee spoof?
Rumor has it, Rachel Levine begged to be the test subject.
So are these bras for…..
the its, men, or the women to wear…..???
You never know in today’s military….!!!!
Honey, if you need a special bra to go into combat, you don’t belong on the battlefield.
Look at them as muzzle plugs for twin mount guns.
Whether they’re a crew-served weapon or not depends on the woman in question.
Rush would have had a field day with this story. God I miss him!
What’s wrong with the Flash Bang?

Do they make men’s junk armor too? Does it lift and separate?
The enemy is developing ship-killing hypersonic weapons and we’re R&D’ing tactical bras.
Not a joke, unfortunately.
Those women in the 1950’s Sci-Fi movies – with those outrageous pointed teats with nipples shaped like warheads – I call them Rocket Boobs.
I wonder how far they sling a 5lb rock?
Every body is shaped differently. It’ll be another colossal waste of time and money.
Here’s a video of the prototype in action

Sooooo … is the Air Force developing the “Strategic” bra?
What absolute fucking nonsense – even the fucking Army no longer understands what “tactical” means.
Maybe they meant “tactile?”
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
issue tuxedos to the fkng twats; if u wantsta be impotent u gotsta look impotent
More support needed for the born male recruit with the revised physical standards
Women should not be in combat roles, therefore there is no need to develop a “tactical bra”.
Eugenia – Great choices at the flashbangstore – am partial to the lavender fields myself
…do NOT underestimate the power of Da Boob!
TASTE HER WRATH!
