    The document discusses providing protective eyewear to initial entry soldiers through coordination with TRADOC and MEDCOM to increase usage, promote the concept of "train as you fight", and ensure soldiers are comfortable in a combat environment with protective eyewear. It also discusses how the Military Combat Eye Protection program tests commercial protective eyewear to military ballistic and ANSI Z87.1 standards, with suitable products tested by soldiers and reviewed by a panel prior to approval for the Authorized Protective Eyewear List. The program increases competition and gives soldiers a variety of choices at a lower cost while allowing them to select protective eyewear based on mission
