Eagle Scaleable Plate Carrier(TM) Lightens The Load For Marines:

"ST. LOUIS, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to Marine Corps concerns over the weight and bulk of personal protection equipment, Eagle Industries has developed the Scaleable Plate Carrier(TM). The company began producing this critical troop support item in 2008 after extended development work with the Department of Defense (DoD).

"Eagle's Scaleable Plate Carrier(TM)is a U.S. Marine Corps requirement that was developed in conjunction with Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) to increase the combat effectiveness of service members operating at high altitudes in Afghanistan and elsewhere by reducing weight and bulk. This tailored design is a highly adaptable system configured specifically to adjust to the changing mission profiles of Marines. It has five adjustment points to allow for a more exact and comfortable fit, essential when traversing steep mountains at high altitudes."
