    I wanted to show you guys the current status of my new basement focused on the 101st Airborne.  I still have a lot to do but I can't help but do a little display of what I can find and can put together.  There's a lot more to come, but as of right now I like where its going.

    Great collection; I really like using the mannequins; it gives the display some personality. Thanks much for sharing these pics!

    Early ACUs with early green patched ACU ACH helmet covers...

    Just a small update; been doing some work on my current OCP dressed Soldier.  Added a well used groin protector, a PVS14 (Dummy) and some commo gear.

    Tom, sorry for not getting back sooner.  The sensors are part of a S.O. Tech trauma sensor.  I have only seem photos of 3rd BDE, 101st Soldiers actually wear these in Afghanistan.  So these may have been a test or prototype item.  These were made to go hand in hand with the interior helmet mounted sensors to help diagnose body trauma of wounded soldiers.  I have only seem these come out of Ft Campbell, so I would assume they were only issued to units in the 101st.

    I've got one with the sensor and it came out of Campbell as well. There were also multiple others with the sensors as well that I didnt pick up.

    Wow, great setup, I'm reworking my room to put in some manikins and I really like your method with the standing ones in the back and legless in the front, I'll have to use that (once i get enough stuff to need to of course)
