Measure body length from the high point of the shoulder beside the neck to the bottom hem.
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 Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate traces its heritage to the Army’s original Parachute Test Platoon of 1940. Its formal organizational history began with a service board activated at Camp Mackall in December 1944. Based at Fort Bragg, its operational test paratroopers evaluated parachutes, airborne equipment, procedures, and aerial-delivery systems. Their testing supplied evidence for decisions about equipment and methods used by airborne and special operations forces, continuing the test-platoon tradition of proving new capabilities before wider fielding.
