Another Important Piece Of Protective Gear

Soldiers need to have the right gear and equipment to feel safe and do an effective job. Sometimes that equipment includes shields. shields are a way of protecting the full front of the human body from an attack. Whether something is being thrown in the direction of the person fighting or a full on body to body attack is happening, a shield will keep the attacker from making contact with the person carrying the shield. The shields of old often had a much more decorative front than those that are seen in our modern times. This was an identifying factor that could be seen from a distance.
