To quality for ANH EIB recognition, a trooper will...

MUST HAVE

* Comply with ALL CRL - ANH Stunt Must Have requirements in addition to:

Armor
* Shoulder straps should not be attached with rivets, and should free float in the back rather than being permanently attached.
* Armor side gaps should be closed. This should be done by adding a shim or shims of material that must be of similar material and color as the ab and back plate. Shims should fit flush and may have seams. Ideally they will be seamless if possible to the ab and/or back plate, resulting in a single seam between the ab/back rather than extra seams for where the shims are joined.
* O2 canister should be attached via metal clips approximately 1 inch wide, and should be all gray without silver stickers or silver paint.
* Holster should be attached to the belt from behind instead with no loops covering the outside of the belt, using two fasteners at the bottom.  These may be rivets or Chicago screws.
* Belt must be canvas or canvas covered, leather and vinyl are not acceptable.

Helmet
* Correct hovi mike tips.
* Lenses should be flat green only.
* Ears should have three screws used per side, one above and below the ear bump and one at the base of the helmet
