Defender M
TenCate Defender M is a flame-resistant fabric used by both the United States Army and Marine Corps as the uniform material for ground troops in Iraq and Afghanistan because of new war threats like improvised explosive devices (IEDs).〔(Project Manager Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment ), October 2010, pg 1.〕 The fabric has a proprietary blend of fibers which provides intrinsic flame-resistant qualities which protect soldiers from flame and high-temperature heat. Mike Sloane of PEO Soldier, the U.S. Army’s acquisition organization, “The burn rate has gone down significantly. We find that the soldiers who were wearing flame-resistant uniforms have sustained nearly no burns.”〔(Georgia fabric shields soldiers ), Atlanta Journal Constitution, Michael E. Kanell, July 3, 2010〕
==Product history==
TenCate Defender M was invented in 2006 in response to increased burn threats in combat. After extensive evaluation, Defender M was selected for the Fire Resistant Army Combat Uniform (FR-ACU) and the Marine Corp’s Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) programs in 2007.〔(A Standout in Camo: Army’s new combat uniforms showcase Bay State textile firm’s technological savvy ), Boston Globe, Boston.com, Robert Gavin, July 11, 2010〕
Currently, TenCate Defender M is worn by United States deployed ground troops and provides flame protection with fabric that self-extinguishes itself when exposed to fire or flame.〔(Program Executive Office Soldier ), Fire Resistant Army Combat Uniform (FR ACU), October 2010, pg. 1〕
