This guide details the proper placement of hard armor plates in a plate carrier, emphasizing the importance of protecting vital organs like the heart, lungs, and diaphragm. Key placement points include aligning the top of the front plate with the suprasternal notch, extending it 1.5 inches below the sternum, and covering the nipples. The rear plate should be positioned about an inch below the C7 vertebrae. Side plates are noted to protect lower abdominal organs rather than thoracic vitals.
