Doffing of Hard Armor
1.
In emergency situations, doff the hard body armor by gripping
the beaded pull handle with either hand and giving a sharp
outward and downward pull. This action simultaneously
releases both the quick release strap clip and the loop slide from
the loop lock, allowing the rear armor to separate and drop off
of the wearer.
2.
Discard the beaded handle and reach into the front of the vest.
Grasp the handle attached to the front hard armor, pull away
from chest, and discard it.
