- Training Video for the USMC Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV).
The Modular Tactical Vest (MTV or MoTaV) is a ballistic vest that was first used by the US Marine Corps in 2006. The Marine Corps chose the MTV as a solution to inadequacies in the Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) after a thorough proposal and examination procedure.
USMC introduced their Improved Modular Tactical Vests (IMTV) in 2013. The IMTV is designed for Marines of smaller stature who cannot comfortably wear the full-sized MTV. The Corps does not wish to design female-specific body armor and discovered that the problem was varied statures related to torso length. The IMTV is suitable for both women and men of diminutive stature.

I think the groin protector is a good idea might save your nuts.
You can thank Vietnam veterans for that idea.
Yep, been saving nuts since the beginning of the iraq war.
"Mobility?! PFT!!!"
I'm not in the American military, hell I was a recruit in the Canadian military before my knee blew out, but despite this vest looking cool, I couldn't imagine wearing it. But then again, we wear body armor AND a tac vest on top of it.
Hated that vest when I was in! When I got issued a plate carrier also I only ever used it.
Why does each military branch have its own personal armor system? I wonder which armor system has superior protection.
Not that long ago, they all used the same vest (IBA in 2000s, PASGT in 1990s).
They’ve all got their differences and similarities. And the reason they have different systems if based on their jobs. The new navy plate carrier is smaller and offers a lower profile because they aren’t gonna be facing ground combat anytime soon. Hope this helps
Each branch has different missions and therefore different gear requirements
maybe they can make some kevlar cover all as an uniform for protection
That would bankrupt the armed forces :D
jesse chien They already do. Go do some research aka Google it.
Thats for bomb defusal teams but they die if it explodes so its a waste. Send swats with that suit just to spook criminals.
That would be hot and heavy. You also have to consider that it will probably restrict movement. They actually tried doing that for regular troops to wear in the field, but no one is going to wear that. Lol
jesse chien plate carriers can provide protection from 5.56 and 7.62 but Kevlar vest can’t since they’re soft body armor
Thanks for the video....................................... & THUMBS UP :D
this looks cool
does the IMTV been completely replaced by Plate carrier in USMC ?
Yes but it’s still used by SOME super POG units, and for training
Looks like it's well made.
Looks over complicated, but I don't know a lot about this stuff. Nice video though, very interesting.
Agreed, the armed services seem like they do that alot, IMO. Overcomplicated and ineffective. Funny, I think you can get better stuff nowadays as a private individual just mixing and matching up some gear on the market. I've never had to QC one of my armor plates by checking to see if it had crumbled overnight lmao.
blah979 Hahaha if you think this “over complicated” then you’d have trouble at OCS or recruit training.
Charles Murry It’s called being precautious. Typical inept civilians.
I'll go ahead and add less than fully literate and wound tighter than a hummingbirds asshole to that list, since you asked so sweet. No one here made any claims about their ability to use said equipment jackass. Only that, in terms of some systems, it seems more complex than necessary. But I have that opinion of all QR carriers. Never got why a cable was needed, and it just seems haphazardous to me. Anyone or anything could snag that thing, then you're all kinds of f'ed up. its easy enough to rip velcro loose, IMO.
It's not. actually very easy to remove
👍👍 Thnx
As a Ukrainian military I thank authors of this video, USMC and people of USA for they support. UA 🤝 USA
Cool
This is the crappiest, most complex piece of gear I've ever been issued.
Sometimes I wonder what idiot came up with this stone age crap...how can anyone move in this 16th century harness???
Fons negentienachtenvijftig You are a fool !
And happy to be.
whats the best in your opinion? im in the market
At least it's better then the IOTV. One of me idiot friends pulled the quick release cable on one of my other friends vest and he had a hell of a time putting it back togethre.
Wear so u get these vest?
You can't, unless you're willing to join the military
@@cody3362 They'll actually come up occasionally on Ebay or sometimes you'll find them in surplus stores. There are also guys that found a way to keep theirs when they EAS.
Can you buy this just not the plates
+Jake Vidro There's always some of these online at Ebay. You can also go to pointblank solutions and find your nearest store to buy one of these. But it'll cost a fortune
Henry Liu cool thxz bro
Just get a plate carrier man
How much does all of that weigh...! And better question: What does that leave the marine with the ability to carry? More weight means less mobility....
Looks like someone in procurement did not read "The Soldier's Load and The Mobility of a Nation" by S.L.A. Marshall, Pub. by the Marine Corps Assoc. Quantico, Virginia
You need weight, if something is too light then you end up taking all the energy, the heavier something is the more energy is required to get vest in motion, giving the wearers body time to catch up with the momentum with the vest reducing trauma
@@c03_psychie20 I take it that English is not your native language.....
@@communismenslavesmurders5774 oh forgive me for not putting in some form of effort to impress you with grammar, however I did notice you redirecting the subject, but that's fine it's quite common among the armor community, especially ceramic buyers
@@c03_psychie20 It wasn't grammar. I thought you were using google translate into English.
The more weight a soldier carries the less mobile he is. You do not need weight in body armor to absorb energy. It just needs to catch and stop the bullet. A bullet doesn't have the kinetic energy to nock over a person. It's called physics.
But back to my point, less weight of ALL equipment combined makes the soldier more mobile. Read the book.
@@communismenslavesmurders5774 ah yes in the case of a soldier, yes less weight is better. However if we take a step back to plain old civvies, more coverage and weight is better rather than a tiny plate carrier. Also bullets have more than enough energy to knock over a person, I've seen it plenty of times, a lighter object is easier to get in motion where a heavier object requires more energy. I've seen what light armor does to people, they were everything except in good shape due to trauma and BFD
How do they carry grenades
Kenneth Purboadji there r grenade pouches they use
How much do you know about the military, because not every marine and or soldier carries grenades on them, they're are special MOS for that
Ima be wearing this bulky pos in 2 years
I'll probably be wearing this thing later this year.
@@kilo393 cool
Mef262728 Nobody uses this anymore, we use PC now.
Send me one please
and you believe that too
This is none too different than the IOTV, just a few minor differences.
This looks like it's heavy and too bulky.
Someone needs a shaving chit.
Tarnseele He's a vendor not a jarhead
Most places only sells to law enforcement.

honestly,,, you know that the dragon skin is the best for marines....
+auxlee72 The project of Dragon skin vest was a failure during bulletproof vest test, rating of bulletproof vests to replace the old vests, because the Interceptor Armor vest takes advantage and fewer missed - May 2006.
+auxlee72 And in this video, the new bulletproof Improved Modular Tactical Vest looks better than a normal Interceptor Armor and also Dragon Skin
Dragon skin was better but they threatened the contracts with other companies that were already negotiated so the DOD shut them down to keep them from bringing it up. They should have not rocked the boat and sold to citizen and LE only. Never run after a gov contract, let them come to you.
I trusted my life to dragon skin 03 to 06. Everytime I discusse it I'm told it was crap. I'll never believe that I took two hits 7.62x39. not even a bruise. And was witness to far more severe abuse taken by others. That's my experience with dragon skin. Never made any sense something so amazing just disappears
It's all about money not protecting the lives of our brothers
Why they don’t take the 5.11 tactec plate carrier, it’s only 200$, more confortable and reliable and have a better mobility
WheatherGame ok we get it you played ghost recon wild lands
This vest seems the same as the US Army's IBA. Shitty ass vest. Luckily the Army is going to be issued no gear and combat uniform. The modular vest, helmet and combat uniform. It's lightweight and adds a higher performance in mobility.
Why didn't they camouflage the vest?
budget probably
ElectroWolf I like it like that it looks really cool
It isn't camouflaged because US Marines wear 2 types of camos one being desert marpat and the other being woodland marpat. It would be much more difficult if there are 2 plate carriers for 2 different camouflage patterns. A Coyote Tan PC works best with both desert and woodland marpat.
desert marpat was actually disbanded recently
Rusty Ethridge not really, I mean, they only use it if it's in a desert combat. But when they're at base, I guess, they wear the woodlands Marpat
looks cool
but why do they sound so boring
it's not meant for 5 year olds it meant to save your life on combat
