ombat is dangerous enough without having to worry about being shot by someone
on your own side. That’s why both you and your vehicle need the protection of the
Joint Combat IdentiFcation Marking System (JCIMS).
JCIMS is composed of combat identiFcation panels (CIPs), thermal identiFcation
panels (TIPs), and Phoenix infrared beacons. All three items have been around since
the mid-90s and JCIMS remains the only platform marking capability within the US
Army and our NATO Allies.
Over the years, JCIMS has evolved to cover new vehicle models and consolidate
kit conFgurations. ±or example, seven separate kits were originally needed to cover
the entire HMMWV family of vehicles. Today, only two types of kits are needed.
