more context Every Marine on the FOB is expected to man guard posts or run entry control points in addition to their daily duties, which places many of the aviation Marines in unfamiliar roles. They trade their wrenches, cranials and heavy equipment for flares, night vision goggles and crew-served weapons to stand four-hour shifts at one of the crude security posts ringing the FOB.

neutral Mahmoud Akbari : کلاهخود is the term used in Persian to refer to the kind of metal helmet that warriors used to wear as a form of head protection in the old times. You can search کلاهخود to see more pictures if in doubt.

thanks!
agree Mohammad Emami : I think it is a good way to revive some good old words like this, as both کلاه ایمنی and کلاه کاسکت are applied in very different contexts in today's Persian.
