The tactical garment assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one extension garment comprises a second placket lock half disposed on a proximate end of the extension garment and configured to be removably coupled to the first placket lock half, wherein the at least one extension garment is configured to be removably attached to the base garment via coupling of the first placket lock half to the second placket lock half. 
     
     
         5 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 1 , wherein removably coupling the extension garment to the base garment adjusts the vent from a vented configuration to a closed configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the first placket lock half and the second placket lock half comprise a zipper, a set of snaps, a button and receiving aperture, a set of magnets, a clasp, a hook and loop fastener, or a grommet. 
     
     
         7 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 4 , wherein removably coupling the first placket lock half to the second placket lock half and the at least one anchor to the at least one dock couples the extension garment to the base garment. 
     
     
         8 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the base garment comprises a body composed of a first material,   wherein the upper yoke layer composed of the first material and the lower yoke layer composed of a second material.   
     
     
         9 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the base garment is a short-sleeve shirt and wherein the at least one extension garment is a long-sleeve having a sleeve length greater than the at least one appendage. 
     
     
         10 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the at least one appendage comprises:
 a first appendage coupled to the first side of the base garment; and 
 a second appendage coupled to a second side of the base garment, 
   wherein the at least one extension garment comprises:
 a first extension garment removably coupled to the first appendage; and 
 a second extension garment removably coupled to the second appendage. 
   
     
     
         11 . A tactical garment assembly, comprising:
 a base garment with a front face, an opposed back face, a first side, and a second side, the base garment comprising:
 at least one first appendage disposed on the first side; 
 a second appendage disposed on the second side; 
 a yoke disposed between the front face and the opposed back face; 
 a vent disposed adjacent to the yoke, wherein the yoke covers at least a portion of the vent; 
 at least one male anchoring portion positioned between the yoke and at least one of the first appendage and the second appendage; and 
 a first placket lock half disposed at least partially about the first appendage; and 
   a first extension garment comprising:
 a second placket lock half; and 
 a female anchoring portion configured to receive the male anchoring portion, 
   wherein the at least one extension garment removably attached to the base garment via coupling the at least one male anchoring portion to the female anchoring portion and the first placket lock half to the second placket lock half, wherein removably attaching the extension garment to the base garment adjusts the vent from a venting position to an enclosed position.   
     
     
         12 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the vent comprises one of a mesh material and a plurality of apertures disposed through the base garment. 
     
     
         13 . A tactical garment assembly, comprising:
 a base garment comprising:
 a front panel; 
 a back panel; 
 a first side disposed between the front panel and the back panel; 
 a second side disposed between the front panel and the back panel: 
 at least one appendage disposed on the first side and the second side; 
 a yoke extending between the front panel and the back panel, the yoke comprising a vent; 
 a female anchor disposed on the yoke; and 
 a first placket lock half disposed on the at least one appendage; and 
   at least one extension garment comprising:
 a second placket lock half removably attached to the first placket lock half; and 
 a male anchor removably attached to the female anchor, 
 wherein the extension garment selectively alters a position of the yoke between a venting position and an enclosed position. 
   
     
     
         14 . The tactical garment assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the vent is disposed proximate to the at least one appendage.
