This is a video to show people how to put your body armor back together. If u like this video and suggest other military videos I promise I'll do my best to post videos and answer questions.
Picked up my vest today for annual training and accidentally pulled the ripcord thinking it was a carrying handle 😅 learned a lot from this video, absolute lifesaver
Doing a lateral transfer for a soldier who dipped out without orders, had to learn how to clean and reassemble this thing. Thank you so much for making this video. It’s super easy now that I know how it works.
My dad gave me a vest he was given, (he’s a contractor) and and I pulled the ripcord not knowing that it would disassemble the best, this video helped so much because my dad has to return the vest as he is moving from an airbase in Iraq to the main quarters in Georgia. Thank you so much for the video
As many others have said, you're a life saver. Was about to clear CIF and had no idea how to reassemble this thing. Only video i could find that was clear and the instructions were spot on. Thank you!
Appreciated. I got issued the old one our drills told us don't pull the cord or arti 15 so we never learned how to reassemble our iotv and my oh shit cord got pulled during EIB training. I thought I was boned.
Modern plate carriers: for our innovative quick release systems, we just put load bearing buckles in the shoulder straps that can’t be accidentally undone and put a tube system on the cummerbund that can’t be undone except when pulling it in a deliberate manner. It makes the plate carrier last longer and makes it much quicker and quieter to put on, allowing for a fast side entry method. The US army: We’re going to thread a METAL CORD through TINY CLOTH LOOPS that are the ONLY THING HOLDING THE THING TOGETHER and make it PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for most soldiers to adjust easily or comfortably. We also put TONS of EXTRA FABRIC and velcro that can SNAG on things and MAKE MORE NOISE and make the entire thing SO COMPLEX to put back together that people literally have to LOOK UP A VIDEO to figure out how to put it back together AND we’re going to PAY MORE for it than a HIGH END plate carrier.
Super thanks. Just did EDRE yesterday, for TC3, they take my iotv apart, and then I don’t know how to put back, no one knows in the team cause they just know how to quickly disassemble by ripcord by master gunner
This makes total sense. The army issues something that virtually 99% of soldiers couldnt figure out without a youtube video.
100%
Still true 🤦♂️
You basically helped most of my platoon clear CIF haha
Hahah watching this right now to clear in 2 hours
7 years later, and you're still a Hero. Thanks for posting!
"no one can grab that on ya and... Disassemble your vest thinkin it's funny."
I was very funny. So funny i forgot to laugh.
Thank you for video.
Two years later.. you save me a hassle trying to put this back together! Thanks much appreciated!
Thank you for posting this!! my NCO didn't even know how to put one together.
Whitney Forsberg you're welcome, glad I could help

You helped me, and now I can help my troopers!!
Thanks. Saved my life! Happy new year from Germany.
my sgt said this would take 45 mins to do, did it in less then half that
thanks for the help man
The Jeffernaut not a problem grab to have helped
I had 0 idea on what the ripcord was, so i pulled it out, but thankfully, this video existed so i could figure out how to put it back
Hey, I came back after 3 years later after my CIF in US army. It was really helpful at that time. Thank you for sharing this video again.

Ur the best. Best tutorial ever. adding to my playlist for sure
As many others have said, you're a life saver. Was about to clear CIF and had no idea how to reassemble this thing. Only video i could find that was clear and the instructions were spot on. Thank you!
And that is exactly why we made it. All the ones I found weren’t the best and/or left stuff out.
4 years later...and you are still a hero.
this saved my ass...i had to reassemble for a friend and this saved me about 140 pages of the 156 page manual. thank you!!!
not a problem, glad i could help
So to defeat armor you don't have to shoot it harder, you just have to pull the tab before hand...
Nice!
Vid was super helpful. Had to tear apart my IOTV to clean it. Putting it back together took only like 5 minutes.
Nice happy to help
Not all heroes wear capes. Clearing right now and I barely have any help or guidance. Nice Video thanks

You just saved me a lot of frustration. That week between drop off and pick up makes it hard to remember how to put this thing back together
Thank you! Went to unload my wife's from our car and it fell apart on me. Hahaha! Thankfully it was easy enough to put back together with your help.
Thank you so much for putting this up. It was very helpful.
