Notes:
1. The CBA figures are included for completeness,
however, CBA Covers cannot be used with ECBA.
2. Quantities of CBA Covers procured was not sourced
for this audit.
3. Fillers are listed as ECBA (Table 1) as they are
common to both.
4. UN Blue (3,105 issued) and Royal Navy Covers (54
held by RN Units) have not been included in this audit. Also omitted
were MOD Police Body Armour, Concealed High Velocity Body Armour,
Searchers Body Armour and Improved Northern Ireland Body Armour.
These are relatively small dependencies and would not materially
affect the overall totals.
