ESS Cross Blade
Mission
GEN III ECWCS is a 12-piece kit that enables Soldiers to utilize seven different layers, depending on the mission and environment. The system functions through insulation, layering, and ventilation. Insulation resists the transmission of heat, traps air, and wicks moisture away from the body. Layering increases air space and allows easy adjustment to a Soldier’s activity level. Ventilation allows moisture to escape. By mixing and matching GEN III ECWCS components, Soldiers can protect themselves from temperatures ranging from 40 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
