Others, like tibia or ankle fractures, become deadly when a wounded soldier cannot send firepower downrange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command is looking to change that with its new Intrepid Battlefield EXoskeleton, or IBEX, system, a shoulder-to-foot brace that can be worn to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/10\/19\/drones-attack-a-us-military-base-in-southern-syria-officials-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/10\/19\/drones-attack-a-us-military-base-in-southern-syria-officials-say\/\">injured<\/a> troops to stand, walk and shoot when evacuation is impossible or delayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device was designed to make an injured soldier more self-sufficient, so they can move themselves to safety instead of relying on the two-to-four additional troops it takes to carry a victim on a litter. The goal, the Army said in a release Wednesday, is to keep more soldiers firing until help arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn combat, troops suffer tibia fractures, torn knee ligaments, high-grade ankle sprains, and foot fractures; these are the most common but survivable battlefield injuries,\u201d said Dr. Lee Childers, a senior scientist at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe IBEX enables more walking wounded, which means more warfighters putting bullets downrange while providing a smaller target for enemy drones to attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1430\" height=\"763\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9713177.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-89317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9713177.jpg.jpg 1430w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9713177.jpg.jpg?resize=300,160 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9713177.jpg.jpg?resize=768,410 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/9713177.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,546 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1430px) 100vw, 1430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure A: Anterior view of the IBEX Mk2 prototype.

It relieves the pressure on soft tissue, nerves and blood vessels, and is able to bear body weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower-leg injuries are often from gunshots or bomb blasts, the Army said, and soldiers suffered many such injuries during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They can also be injured operating in rough terrain or bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops deployed to combat zones sustained over 22,000 non-amputated lower leg injuries between 2001 and 2018, according to the National Library of Medicine, which also reported that 68% of extremity injuries were fractures or open wounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was initiated in 2020 and has been tested by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. It is now on its third round of funding and has been licensed by a commercial partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Editor\u2019s note: This story has been updated to reflect that
