Combat Helmet M/96 (Global Mobilization)

The Combat Helmet M/96 is a ballistic-resistant helmet used by Danish military forces in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC.

Overview[]

A replacement for outdated U.S.-style steel helmets, the M/96 was officially adopted in 1996 by the Royal Danish Army. It provides increased surface coverage of the wearer's head compared to its older counterpart, though it is still intended to shield the wearer from explosives and fragments rather than ballistic projectiles.

The helmet uses a solid paint colour but can be customised with a camouflage cover depending on the user's preferences. All M/96 helmets share the same weight of 10 "mass" units.^{[CfgWp 1]}^{[CfgWp 2]}
