I can see some immediate applications for relief/contour maps and overlays, and bringing the sandtable into the XXI Century.
Vehicle air filters could be another possiblity, as could be tearaway protective lenses over vehicle headlights, armored vehicle sighting and night vision equipment, and other equipment that really shouldn't be etched or scoured by wind-driven sand or covered in mud.

But don't worry, soldier. The taxpayers have provided you with the very best equipment China can produce....
Might be a couple of possibilities in EOD applications as well. Oh, Squantos....
