TM 10-8470-203-10WARNING SUMMARYThis warning summary contains general safety warnings andhazardous materials warnings that must be understood andapplied during operation and maintenance of this equipment.Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injuryor death to personnel.WARNINGBallistic cover and face shield add weight tothe helmet. The assembly shifts the balancepoint forward. A high risk of injury to the neckmay be expected when the soldier wearingthe helmet, helmet cover, and face shield issubjected to external forces or accelerationssuch as falls, jumping from heights, vehicularmovement over rough terrain, or direct impactto the helmet.WARNINGUse of the BASIC with MOPP gear increasesthe possibility of heat illness.WARNINGEnsure the fragmentation protective insert isnot folded over inside the vest cover backhalf. Correct positioning is required toprovide maximum available protection.WARNINGBe sure to evaluate the fit of the overbootswhen worn with alternate military footwearbefore beginning a mission.WARNINGThe overboot increases the height of yourheel and sole. Use caution when walking toavoid tripping or twisting your ankle.a

TM 10-8470-203-100002OPERATOR MAINTENANCEBODY ARMOR SET, INDIVIDUAL COUNTERMINE (BASIC)EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATAEQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, ANDFEATURESThe BASIC is designed to provide protection to the soldierconducting countermine clearing operations by reducing theeffects of blast and fragments from small to medium antipersonnel (AP) mines and booby traps. Although the BASICenhances the protection to the soldier, the suit will not protect thewearer against the detonation of all AP mines; injury or death canoccur from the effects of a detonated mine while wearing theBASIC.The BASIC provides varying levels of ballistic protection to distinctzones of the body and balances the levels of increased protectionagainst the soldier's ability to accomplish countermine tasks. Thestandard precautions taken by a soldier during minefield clearingoperations must still be applied when wearing the BASIC.The BASIC is intended to be worn by soldiers when conductingarea clearance countermine operations in accordance with FM20-32 and applying appropriate tactics, techniques, andprocedures (TTPs).Only the types of boots and clothing listed in WP 0009 should beused with the BASIC components.The BASIC is equipped with straps and hook and pile fastenersthat enable the components to be easily removed in anemergency from an injured soldier.0002-1
TM 10-8470-203-100002LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTSThe BASIC is made up of the following ballistic components:a. Helmet Cover (Ballistic)b. Face Shieldc. Mine Protective Overbootsd. Anti-Fragmentation Trousers (Ballistic)e. Vest Cover (Ballistic)f. Armor Chest Plate (Ballistic)g. Upper Arm Protector (Ballistic)h. Lower Arm Protector (Ballistic)i. Collar (Ballistic)j.

Foot Protection System.WARNINGThe operator must wear protective clothing inaddition to the FPS.WARNINGUse of FPS increases height of user.WARNINGUse of FPS results in increased foot width.Must take care to take wider steps to avoidtripping or serious injury may result.WARNINGUse of FPS Spider Boots may cause feet to slidemore easily on flat ground.0002-4
TM 10-8470-203-100002WARNINGUse of FPS on uneven terrain may cause user to losebalance. User must walk with caution on thesesurfacesCAUTIONLimit exposure of FPS to very wet environments.This will reduce the possibility of water seepinginto the deflector.The FPS protects the operator by increasing the distancebetween the foot and a potential charge by 15 to 20 centimeters,by averting part of the charge away from the foot, and byabsorbing some of the energy transferred from an anti-personnelmine.Sandpods are also available for use with the FPS.Figure 3.

TM 10-8470-203-100003OPERATOR MAINTENANCEBODY ARMOR SET, INDIVIDUAL COUNTERMINE (BASIC)THEORY OF OPERATIONThis work package discusses theory of operation and protectivequalities of the BASIC system.Armor plates are used to achieve the highest level offragmentation protection for the chest and groin areas. Headarea protection is achieved with a combined installation of thestandard Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT)helmet with a soft ballistic cover. The face shield does notprovide the same level of protection provided by the helmet withcover. To provide optimal visual clarity, the face shield isconstructed with a clear polycarbonate lens that provides reducedfragmentation protection. The neck, torso, arm and leg areasprovide a range of ballistic protection through the use of multiplelayers of ballistic materials, which form a strong yet pliable barrieragainst mine fragments. The feet are protected with componentmaterials designed to deflect blast and fragments away from thefeet.Figure 1. BASIC Fragmentation Protection Zones.END OF WORK PACKAGE0003-1/2 Blank

Additionaladjustments may be needed during a mission.END OF TASKVest CoverWARNINGFor maximum protection againstantipersonnel mines, wear the vest coverwith your PASGT Vest or InterceptorBody Armor. The BASIC must be wornwith either the Interceptor Body Armor orthe PASGT Vest.The vest cover will be worn over either the PASGT vest (with thecollar up) or Interceptor Body Armor, Outer Tactical Vest (OTV).If wearing the OTV, assemble your OTV base vest without thecollar, throat protector, groin protector, and small arms protectiveinsert (SAPI) plates located in the front and back OTV pockets.The PASGT vest does not require dismantling.0004-10
TM 10-8470-203-100004NOTEAssistance may be needed to donand properly adjust the vest cover.1. Ensure you have the correct size vest cover, refer to WP0009, and that you have a front and back vest cover half.The front half has a pocket on the outside that is closed bymeans of a flap with hook and pile fastener to place the chestplate, and a flap, low on the front where the groin plate isattached. The back half has an open pocket on the inside,approximately mid back; the pocket is for the storage of thismanual.FRONT HALFBACK HALFFigure 13. Vest Cover.2. Open the chest plate pocket on the front half at the bottomedge, and insert armor chest plate, with the curve to the front,into the pocket of the vest cover.
