"Uh...that is wrong. Please provide your source." Wearing contacts in combat is a deliberate violation of current DoD policy, DA PAM 40-506 (The Army Vision Conservation and Readiness Program) as well as the U.S. CENTCOM 021922Z (December 2011 Mod 11 to U.S. CENTCOM individual protection and individual-unit deployment policy). These policies strictly prohibit contact lens wear during basic training, field exercises, gas chamber exercises, deployments and/or combat (with exceptions for Air Force Personnel who have written authorization to wear contact lenses in combat). Kind of makes the newsletter author look poorly researched, doesn't it?
