Holding for body mounted armor

An assembly structured for mounting armor on the body of a user, said assembly comprising:

• a base formed of a rigid material and including an outer portion and an inner portion,
• an armor structure connected to said base and being at least partially formed of a projectile resistant material, said base structured to protect said armor structure from impacts other than an encounter with a projectile,
• an attachment assembly connected to said base and structured to facilitate operative mounting and removal of said base and said armor structure on the user, in and from a protective orientation,
• said attachment assembly comprising a plurality of connectors connected to said base and collectively structured to facilitate the operative mounting of said base in said protective orientation on the user,
• said plurality of connectors structured for removable attachment of said base from the operative mounting on the user, and
• said attachment assembly further comprising a release assembly disposed in interconnected relation to said plurality of connectors and structured for substantially concurrent release of said plurality of connectors,
• an intermediate structure connected to said base substantially adjacent to and between said inner portion and said armor structure, and
• a common release mechanism mounted on said base and interconnected to said plurality of connectors.
