From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 27): Marines to get force protection equipment --PN

The Philippine Navy (PN) has announced that it is acquiring force protection equipment to protect its Marines from injuries caused by bullets and explosive fragments, according to PN vice commander Rear Admiral Caesar Taccad.

"The force protection equipment for the Marines is to protect them from injuries caused by projectiles and shrapnel with minimal restriction to their movement," he said.

The project is now for opening of letter of credit and the equipment is expected to be in service within 2015.

Sufficient units are to be acquired to equip the PN's three Marine brigades, Taccad said.
