Security forces airmen getting new, special operations-like helmets | Air Force Times

The next-generation ballistics helmet is expected for distribution to the Air Force’s security forces airmen. The upgraded helmets will be lighter and cooler than the old model and come with better padding and built-in railings to easily attach accessories such as night-vision goggles and tactical communications equipment, the release said. Master Sgt. Markus Nelson announced his team’s work will get improved equipment to more than 38,000 airmen over the next five to ten years.
