Next-generation helmets keep Defenders lethal, ready

Airman Alex Orquiza, 71st Security Forces Squadron, wears the next generation of ballistic helmet during a door breaching exercise at Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma, September 15, 2020. The Air Force Security Forces Center is delivering the helmets to security forces units as part of its effort to standardize and modernize Defender equipment across the Air Force. The new helmets are lighter, cooler, have better padding, and come with a built-in railing to fit accessories, such as night vision goggles and tactical communication equipment.
