Combat Face Protection Overview


Most combat head injuries are received through the face.

The majority (65%) of all HFNIs were to the face. Head injuries, overall, were more severe than face or neck wounds according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale.

So, almost 2/3rds of Head, Face, and Neck Injuries (HFNI's) were to the face during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Yet, the soldiers' faces are unprotected except for a pair of thin plastic glasses.

Part of the improvements to PPE that the soldier carries needs to be better protection of the face. This alone would be responsible for changing the wound statistics of 2/3rds of HFNI's.
