Chest width is half the garment circumference. Doubling it gives the measurement around the garment, not a recommended body chest size.
Chest-width manufacturing tolerance: ±0.5 inch.

Unit History & Information
The Tarantula Team is part of the National Training Center’s Operations Group at Fort Irwin, California. Its observer, coach and trainer mission supports units preparing for demanding field operations. The team also maintains an airborne identity: Army records show its Paratroopers conducting jumps at Fort Irwin in 2014 and 2024. In 2025, the team trained with the Air Force’s 418th Flight Test Squadron during nighttime airborne operations in the Mojave Desert. This design connects that Fort Irwin service with the older U-S-Paratroops shirt style.
