ARMY DEVELOPS TACTICAL BRA FOR FEMALE SOLDIERS

For the first time ever, the United States Army is creating a tactical bra for female soldiers.

The bra, dubbed the Army Tactical Brassier, is in development at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Center in Natick, Mass., according to the Army Times, which was the first to report the bra’s development.

Four different prototypes of the bra are currently being developed. The Solider Center’s Design Pattern Prototype Team is expected to present the prototypes for an evaluation this fall to the Army Uniform Board, the outlet reported.

The bra is meant to add an extra layer of protection for female soldiers and work into their body armor.
