Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) is clothing used by the United States Marine Corps to reduce the number of injuries resulting from fire and flash (especially burns), due to the increased use of improvised explosive devices in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nothing “Sheepish” About Fire-Safe Fabrics )〕 ==Features== The FROG system consists of a long-sleeve shirt, t-shirt, combat shirt, combat trousers, gloves, and a balaclava. The shirts and trousers are camouflaged in MARPAT, while the remainder are colored in either sand or olive drab.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MCSysCom infopacket )〕 * The balaclava has a hinged face guard that lets the wearer pull down the face guard and expose his or her face without taking off a helmet to remove the whole balaclava. * The long-sleeve shirt has a mock neck, moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial properties. * The t-shirt has most of the same properties as the long-sleeve shirt. * The combat shirt closely resembles the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, but the portion covered by the Marine's body armor (such as the Outer Tactical Vest or Modular Tactical Vest) are not as highly reinforced due to the protective qualities of the vest, and to prevent discomfort. There are pockets only on the upper sleeve. * The combat trousers also closely resemble the utility uniform, but there is an additional calf-pocket to help distinguish it from non-FROG trousers. * The gloves are designed to be highly durable. * Fire-resistant versions of cold-weather clothing are produced and issued as FROG equipment, including: * * silkweight undershirts and underdrawers (nicknamed "polypro"), designed by Polartec as a mock turtleneck meant to be worn next to skin〔(Underwear, Next-to-skin, Cold Weather )〕〔(Flame Resistant (FR) Silkweight Underwear, Next-to-skin, Cold Weather )〕 * * The Grid Fleece Midweight underwear includes a pullover and pants (in green and coyote brown).〔(Grid Fleece )〕〔(Flame Resistant (FR), Grid Fleece Underwear, Mid-Weight, Cold Weather )〕 * * The Inclement Weather Combat Shirt is used for protection from rain and snow, since the All Purpose Environmental Clothing System (APECS) is not fire-resistant. Flight and vehicle crewman suits are also re-classified as FROG II uniforms. The unit commander can dictate how much protection is needed by ordering one of two different FROG levels, which alter how much protective clothing is necessary. The Corps is acquiring a new cold-weather flame-resistant shirt, specifically for the bitter cold winters of Afghanistan, along with a new fire-resistant glove for increased insulation in cold-weather environments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flame Resistant Organizational Gear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
