LONDON Defense officials in Britain are briefing the public on a new wrinkle in the fight against the heat and dust of Iraq and Afghanistan -- germ-fighting underwear.
The antimicrobial underpants have been introduced by the Ministry of Defense as part of a new desert uniform. They are the first undergarments issued to British troops, who traditionally have supplied their own.

A military spokesman says the underwear is not only coated to prevent bacterial infection, developers tried to arrange the seams so they don't chafe.

The army's new desert kit also includes boots with rubber soles designed to withstand temperatures of up to 572 degrees Fahrenheit and "combat sandals" for off-duty wear.
