Mainly training troops and advising. Maybe some convoy security. Any recommendations? "Q".

That was a rhetorical "my" as in a soldier who has a set.
I believe that the Dragon Skin is likely pretty good, probably better than the issued armor, but is slightly heavier and much more expensive.
I would be concerned about any company that would sent you over to a combat zone without protective gear.
