Army: The primary mission of the Army is to "provide necessary forces and capabilities ... in support of the National Security and Defense Strategies. The Army took part in the combined U.S. and allied invasion of Irag in 2003. In the following years the mission changed from conflict between regular militaries to counterinsurgency, with large numbers of suicide attacks. The lack of stability in the theater of operations has led to longer deployments for Regular Army as well as Reserve and Guard troops.    The U.S. Army currently consists of 10 active divisions as well as several independent units. Within the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve there are a further six divisions, over fifteen maneuver brigades, additional combat support and combat service support brigades, and independent cavalry, infantry, artillery, aviation, engineer, and support battalion. The Army Reserve in particular provides virtually all psychological operations and civil affairs units.

Headsets: Tactical headsets are crucial for all military, Special Forces, homeland security and police (SWAT) communications. Reliable and secure tactical communications are imperative to maintaining command and control for ground, air and marine operations. Features which enhance situational awareness, as well providing hearing protection are requirements in today’s battlefield environment. Enhanced performance of tactical communication systems are done with reliable audio headset products offered by CJ Component Products. CJ-SFP-HS Series and CJ-TACOM Series tactical headsets are versatile, durable and remain secure and comfortable on the user. CJ now offers such features as ANR, noise cancellation and multiple variations of push-to-talk switches with the CJ headset product line.

ANR (Active Noise Reduction): To provide both comfort and assist in noise reduction, while increasing situational awareness, active noise reduction (ANR) technologies are incorporated into the CJ TACOM series headsets. Use in high-noise situations such as vehicle operations (HMMWV), the ANR helps reduce noise and decrease misunderstood and repeated commands, maintaining clear communication during mounted military exercises. The CJ TACOM series headset with ANR can improve voice intelligibility when used as part of a vehicle intercom system. Lightweight and comfortable, these headsets may be worn continuously during long missions.
