Question here,
Found alot of photos of Irish army on border duty in 85 wearing flak jackets?
Here are some photos i've found here,
Anyone know would these of been standard issue to all troops on operation? For border duty i've seen pictures with (above) and without in a later video in 88, also in the case of a war would they have been issued? If so does the flak jacket go over the webbing or the webbing over it?
Video in question https://youtu.be/muIRUkSum2o?t=264 The last section covers border duty in 88, the lads here only have webbing and no flak jackets.
Cheers.
