Everyday U.S. Soldiers risk their lives to protect and serve our country. It is the job of the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier to protect the Soldiers by developing the best equipment and fielding it as quickly as possible. From Helmet-mounted vision enhancements to flame-resistant clothing, PEO Soldier designs, develops, procures, fields, and sustains virtually everything the Soldier wears or carries. Check out one of the PEO’s lastest advancements, the T-11 parachute.
Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier was created by the Army with one primary purpose: to develop the best equipment and field it as quickly as possible so that our Soldiers remain second to none in missions that span the full spectrum of military operations.
As recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have vividly demonstrated, getting the right equipment to our military men and women is absolutely critical.
By viewing the Soldier as part of an integrated system, PEO Soldier ensures that the Soldier and everything he or she wears or carries works together as an integrated system. The result is an overall systematic design that benefits Soldiers by enhancing their ability to accomplish individual and collective tasks, improving quality of life, building confidence, and saving lives. In this respect, PEO Soldier is at the vanguard of Army transformation.
Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, PEO Soldier designs, develops, procures, fields, and sustains virtually everything the Soldier wears or carries. By employing innovative concepts and technologies, PEO Soldier has made great strides in quickly getting improved equipment into the hands of Soldiers when and where they need it.
