Body Armor
In the early 1950s, Marines realized that their current body armor was too heavy The Naval Medical Research Laboratory developed an armored vest made of heavy nylon cloth with a new plastic compound After a series of rigorous tests, 2,500 new vests were sent to the frontline units of the 1st Marine Division in Korea In the years since, Marines' body armor has been continually updated and advanced. Improvements like these illustrate the Marine Corps' ongoing commitment to the safety of each Marine.
Vertical Envelopment
After years of field tests, Operation Summit proved that delivering troops by helicopter could improve operations on enemy shores In just four hours, the HMR-161 helicopter squadron completed 65 flights while transporting a total of 224 Marines and 17,772 pounds of supplies to an outpost in Korea This was the first ground attack assisted by helicopter transport in military history Key to overcoming the battles throughout the Chosin Reservoir The overwhelming success of the mission proved the indispensable quality and power of helicopters, and this innovation became the center of strategic operations in subsequent conflicts.
