As a former USMC grunt, I can attest with a high degree of confidence that this will not improve morale very much.

Not clear if barrier detachments have ever been a reality.

If actually deployed, this helmet would serve the function of a barrier detachment without actually having such a unit. I’m skeptical. How do you zero in on an individual helmet? What if helmets got swapped? Sounds like a bizarro Tom Swift concept more than reality. Also puts unit leaders in grave danger from fratricidal incidents.

This would make the soldiers want to strip off their equipment every time the situation gets a little dicey. It almost ensures that they’ll fall apart under stress.

What an incredibly stupid idea.
