    A U.S. Army soldier wearing an Airborne unit patch and a tan fabric face mask is operating a sewing machine at a workbench. The soldier appears to be manufacturing cloth face masks from tan/khaki fabric, likely during the COVID-19 pandemic when military units assisted in PPE production.

    Army Staff Sgt. Jason Brown, a U.S. Special Operations Command parachute rigger sews channels for the straps on a cloth face covering at the riggers facility, MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Fla., April 16, 2020. The MacDill-based riggers recently repurposed their sewing machines to join military riggers around the world in creating face coverings to help fight the spread of COVID-19. The coverings are being distributed to mission essential special operations personnel in support of health, safety and mission readiness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends individuals should routinely wash cloth face coverings in a washing machine depending on frequency of use. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
