According to Military.com, the Army has just now contracted to purchase body 
armor
http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,86028,00.html?ESRC=dod-b.nl

" The U.S. Army, under pressure to issue more protective gear to its 
Soldiers in Iraq, has signed a $70 million emergency contract with a 
California company to rush ceramic body armor to the front lines."

It is a "sole source" contract, so one might want to look into who might or 
might not be involved with Ceradyne Inc.
