Really nice book, thank you.

Would it be possible to get the ODT version somewhere as I find the format a bit dense to read?

I also found a couple of minor errors:
The 6BZT entry has an error: The vest was normally issued with the frontal heavy plate that your listed weight indicates, but that heavy plate is 6.5mm thick titanium and is rated to stop and AK 47(5d+1) from close range as standalone. The rear normally had the 1.25mm titanium "shrapnel" plate. The vest itself is ballistic materials and I would guestimate it at about DR 1*

I would thus rate the 9.5 kg version with the two plates as about DR 20 front and DR 4 rear.

The SAPI Inserts are listed as 2 lb/plate. But really weight 4lb/plate.

and a possible minor error:
The US vest at the time was the original version of the OTV and not the improved IOTV. It is only rated to stop 9mm bullets(2d+2/3d-1) without the inserts so should likely have less than the listed DR 12, perhaps DR 10?

Then on to introduction dates.
A note to the effect like you have for other history changes might be good for the following:
The ACH was introduced 2002 in our timeline.
The ESAPI was introduced 2005 in our timeline.
