Proper sizing of the IOTV and IOTV Gen II is critical to its ability to protect you from
ballistic threats. This includes ensuring each component of your IBA system is the correct
size.
NOTE
Any component of the IOTV is compatible with any component of the
IOTV Gen II. When conducting inventory, any combination of
components will make up a system as long as all components are
present and properly sized.
1. Inventory system using Table 1.
a. Go to the first row in Table 1.
b. The first column lists the name of the component to be inventoried.
c.
The second column indicates the quantity of that item required to make a
complete IBA system (IOTV or IOTV Gen II configuration).
d. The third and fourth columns have pictures of each component for either the
IOTV or IOTV Gen II. These columns also have notes to help identify the
differences between the IOTV and IOTV Gen II versions of each component.
2. Check the interior side of each component for a data label.
3. Ensure each component is the correct size for your system as indicated in Table 2.
a. On the first row, find the size of your IOTV or IOTV Gen II.
b. As you inventory each component, find that component in the left-most column of
Table 2.
c.
The correct size for each component is listed at the intersection of the row the
individual component is listed on and the column that lists the size of your vest.
4. If a component is not the correct size or if it does not have a data label, turn it in for a
properly sized component.
5. Inspect each component using Table 1, WP 0008, Preventive Maintenance Checks
and Services.
