Battle Gear

Suit up and strap in with THE HISTORY CHANNEL for an in-depth tour of duty that explores the armor and weapons that have made a foot soldier´s job possible throughout the ages.

From battle armor to bubble gum, you might be surprised by what soldiers have carried into battle... and what they´ll be carrying in future wars. Discover how weapons and equipment are developed-from the gladius of Ancient Rome to today´s M16 assault rifles, infrared scopes, and biological-weapons protection-and see how body armor has evolved from medieval times, through WWI and WWII, to the technological innovations that shield today´s land warriors.

For the first time on DVD, this enthralling and comprehensive program examines the priorities and provisions for survival, as you journey through a timeline of prehistoric infantrymen to the ""Future Warriors"" on the not-too-distant horizon!
