Military Uses
Military aircraft sometimes use molecular sieve oxygen concentrators (MSOC) to supply the aircrewmen with oxygen at high altitudes. Otherwise, supplies of liquid oxygen are used.
Oxygen concentrators have also been used by the Armed Forces of the United States in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the equipment used by medical and surgical units in the field.

Famous quotes containing the word military:
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
