Hello all. We recently saw an article that discussed the issue of combat eye shields, and suggested that they should be added to every Improved First-Aid Kit (IFAK) in the inventory. They are already included in the component listing of the Combat Lifesaver (CLS) Bag, but the article suggests that they need to be universally adopted and distributed across the force, to ensure they're always available even if a CLS bag (which gets bulkier by the year) isn't handy. Here's the article:
