I have given this file my endorsement.
Just because a mod isn't "lore-friendly" doesn't make it a bad mod--and this is a good one. Seeing as how MK I and MK II Combat Armor is already in the game--and given the amount of taxes the NCR takes in from its territories as it expands, I would be surprised if they didn't have armor like this, in spite of the drain on their resources battling against Caesar. You could make a desert tan/brown re-textured version to match the original NCR uniforms, and to be installed as a textures-only option for those who are really that concerned about it.
Perhaps you could get permission from thatguy10 to use the combat gloves from his TGs Armor Collection for New Vegas (

I would also suggest a black retexture of the NCR 1st Recon Beret for the NCR officers that wear them, as the standard beret with the NCR Bear Pin is absolutely hideous and makes the wearer look like he or she has an inflated pancake on their head.
Nice job on the new armor. Makes the NCR look more like a force to be reckoned with.
