Training Video for the USMC Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV).
The Modular Tactical Vest (MTV or MoTaV) is a ballistic vest that was first used by the US Marine Corps in 2006. The Marine Corps chose the MTV as a solution to inadequacies in the Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) after a thorough proposal and examination procedure.
USMC introduced their Improved Modular Tactical Vests (IMTV) in 2013. The IMTV is designed for Marines of smaller stature who cannot comfortably wear the full-sized MTV. The Corps does not wish to design female-specific body armor and discovered that the problem was varied statures related to torso length. The IMTV is suitable for both women and men of diminutive stature.

I think the groin protector is a good idea might save your nuts.

@kellyoxo2818 7 лет назад

You can thank Vietnam veterans for that idea.

@kilo393 5 лет назад

Yep, been saving nuts since the beginning of the iraq war.

@BloodyKnives66 6 лет назад

Hated that vest when I was in! When I got issued a plate carrier also I only ever used it.

"Mobility?! PFT!!!"

@berner 6 лет назад

I'm not in the American military, hell I was a recruit in the Canadian military before my knee blew out, but despite this vest looking cool, I couldn't imagine wearing it. But then again, we wear body armor AND a tac vest on top of it.

@sbulifeornolife 8 лет назад

maybe they can make some kevlar cover all as an uniform for protection

@Totemparadox 8 лет назад

That would bankrupt the armed forces :D

@CJLAKE123 5 лет назад

jesse chien They already do. Go do some research aka Google it.

@tylerdurden1923 5 лет назад

Thats for bomb defusal teams but they die if it explodes so its a waste. Send swats with that suit just to spook criminals.

@kilo393 5 лет назад

That would be hot and heavy. You also have to consider that it will probably restrict movement. They actually tried doing that for regular troops to wear in the field, but no one is going to wear that. Lol

@munrosteel2443 5 лет назад

jesse chien plate carriers can provide protection from 5.56 and 7.62 but Kevlar vest can’t since they’re soft body armor

@KingRaptorize 11 лет назад

Why does each military branch have its own personal armor system? I wonder which armor system has superior protection.

@RoundenBrown 5 лет назад

Not that long ago, they all used the same vest (IBA in 2000s, PASGT in 1990s).

@thisiconisactuallygoofysfa9960 Год назад

They’ve all got their differences and similarities. And the reason they have different systems if based on their jobs. The new navy plate carrier is smaller and offers a lower profile because they aren’t gonna be facing ground combat anytime soon. Hope this helps

@tockblade 11 лет назад

Each branch has different missions and therefore different gear requirements

@blah979 10 лет назад

Looks over complicated, but I don't know a lot about this stuff. Nice video though, very interesting.

@GodWasAnAlien 6 лет назад

Agreed, the armed services seem like they do that alot, IMO. Overcomplicated and ineffective. Funny, I think you can get better stuff nowadays as a private individual just mixing and matching up some gear on the market. I've never had to QC one of my armor plates by checking to see if it had crumbled overnight lmao.

@CJLAKE123 5 лет назад

blah979 Hahaha if you think this “over complicated” then you’d have trouble at OCS or recruit training.

@CJLAKE123 5 лет назад

Charles Murry It’s called being precautious. Typical inept civilians.

@GodWasAnAlien 5 лет назад

I'll go ahead and add less than fully literate and wound tighter than a hummingbirds asshole to that list, since you asked so sweet. No one here made any claims about their ability to use said equipment jackass. Only that, in terms of some systems, it seems more complex than necessary. But I have that opinion of all QR carriers. Never got why a cable was needed, and it just seems haphazardous to me. Anyone or anything could snag that thing, then you're all kinds of f'ed up. its easy enough to rip velcro loose, IMO.

@lordtark6736 4 года назад

It's not. actually very easy to remove

@xenomorphelv426 9 лет назад

does the IMTV been completely replaced by Plate carrier in USMC ?

Yes but it’s still used by SOME super POG units, and for training

+auxlee72 The project of Dragon skin vest was a failure during bulletproof vest test, rating of bulletproof vests to replace the old vests, because the Interceptor Armor vest takes advantage and fewer missed - May 2006.

@pdzlatan 8 лет назад

+auxlee72 And in this video, the new bulletproof Improved Modular Tactical Vest looks better than a normal Interceptor Armor and also Dragon Skin

@DaveSmith-cp5kj 8 лет назад

Dragon skin was better but they threatened the contracts with other companies that were already negotiated so the DOD shut them down to keep them from bringing it up. They should have not rocked the boat and sold to citizen and LE only. Never run after a gov contract, let them come to you.

@travisaurand7550 7 лет назад

I trusted my life to dragon skin 03 to 06. Everytime I discusse it I'm told it was crap. I'll never believe that I took two hits 7.62x39. not even a bruise. And was witness to far more severe abuse taken by others. That's my experience with dragon skin. Never made any sense something so amazing just disappears

This vest seems the same as the US Army's IBA. Shitty ass vest. Luckily the Army is going to be issued no gear and combat uniform. The modular vest, helmet and combat uniform. It's lightweight and adds a higher performance in mobility.

@timothydeleon5393 7 лет назад

It isn't camouflaged because US Marines wear 2 types of camos one being desert marpat and the other being woodland marpat. It would be much more difficult if there are 2 plate carriers for 2 different camouflage patterns. A Coyote Tan PC works best with both desert and woodland marpat.

@sirpeaches5086 7 лет назад

desert marpat was actually disbanded recently

@electrowolf6260 7 лет назад

Rusty Ethridge not really, I mean, they only use it if it's in a desert combat. But when they're at base, I guess, they wear the woodlands Marpat

@communismenslavesmurders5774 2 года назад

How much does all of that weigh...! And better question: What does that leave the marine with the ability to carry? More weight means less mobility.... Looks like someone in procurement did not read "The Soldier's Load and The Mobility of a Nation" by S.L.A. Marshall, Pub. by the Marine Corps Assoc. Quantico, Virginia

@c03_psychie20 Год назад

You need weight, if something is too light then you end up taking all the energy, the heavier something is the more energy is required to get vest in motion, giving the wearers body time to catch up with the momentum with the vest reducing trauma

@@communismenslavesmurders5774 oh forgive me for not putting in some form of effort to impress you with grammar, however I did notice you redirecting the subject, but that's fine it's quite common among the armor community, especially ceramic buyers

@communismenslavesmurders5774 Год назад

@@c03_psychie20 It wasn't grammar. I thought you were using google translate into English. The more weight a soldier carries the less mobile he is. You do not need weight in body armor to absorb energy. It just needs to catch and stop the bullet. A bullet doesn't have the kinetic energy to nock over a person. It's called physics. But back to my point, less weight of ALL equipment combined makes the soldier more mobile. Read the book.

@c03_psychie20 Год назад

@@communismenslavesmurders5774 ah yes in the case of a soldier, yes less weight is better. However if we take a step back to plain old civvies, more coverage and weight is better rather than a tiny plate carrier. Also bullets have more than enough energy to knock over a person, I've seen it plenty of times, a lighter object is easier to get in motion where a heavier object requires more energy. I've seen what light armor does to people, they were everything except in good shape due to trauma and BFD
