Old style web gear is new again.

As a Vietnam era vet, this makes so much more sense to me than the "attach everything to the plate carrier" school. Reminds me of the Alice gear, but better. Alice didn't allow easy transfer of the load to the hips for approach marches, or getting your shoulder harness (with attached compass/bandage carriers) out of the way when shouldering your ruck. I also like the way he positioned his belt pouches on his hips, allowing him to go prone without grinding his mags into his chest, while also lowering his profile.

WOW! Prototype of the ALICE system 60 years too late....

Back to pre-GWOT. A lot like our kit for jungle in the 90s, a combo of both issue and civilian. I took a lot from the old jungle warfare best practices and doctrine, as well as Hackworth’s Vietnam Primer (which was primarily tactics). We didn’t have the same access to quality, purpose-built kit from civilian sources like it is now (pretty sparse back in the day) issue didn’t cover everything. Wish we had gun belts back then, would have helped. Love to see this approach. Common sense, leveraging lessons learned, and not being afraid to move away from GWOT doctrine. Jungle is a different animal. This is good work, it’s going to save lives and influence the battle space.

As an old Jungle Soldier I’m going to be frank here. That is not a new rig. We called it web gear or LBE (Load Bearing Equipment). The contents might be somewhat newer in how the carried resources are manufactured but from what this shave-tail listed as his “new” equipment is EXACTLY the same as what we carried back in the day.

Belt kit is the most versatile gear I own... And my favourite. Tip: Leave the front of the belt area open so you can lie prone, really flat. Wear a small emphasis: pack on your back for your snivel gear, food, extra water, entrenching tool, and extra mags in bandoleers on top of the pack. On the belt: ammo, water, tourniquet and bandage, comms, knife, compass-just what you need to shoot, move, communicate, and survive (think E&E). YOU NEED MORE MAGAZINES on the belt!!! You might want to open up some real estate on the belt for at least one more pouch. (Checkout "SAW Gunner" pouches.) Buttpack is for more ammo and a poncho-a poncho thick enough so you can read maps/come under a light at night, batteries, and survival food. Comfort tip: sleep in a hammock. Besides a sleep system that's off the ground away from ticks, in an emergency it becomes a litter.

mhm. the balance between function, agility, protection, and comfortability. Has been tested and tried thru the ages. one layer of protection (vest) gear (belt/harness) jacket(second layer protection) the average life expectancy of a soldier in combat is 6 seconds. the key is to find a way to increase their odds make it 9, 12, even 18 seconds. Doesn't seem substantial. but, now you have a fighter that survives 3 times longer.

Cool to see the gear come full circle, LBE for MOST dismounted operations is good, fits well with plate carriers and back packs. I really like the feature to drop lower when you have a ruck on. Hopefully Big Army could adopt with some modifications

For those asking about body armor: You’d just put the belt kit on over a slick plate carrier like the one that comes with the MSV. Like he said it’s easy to adjust to fit over. Plus in the jungle it’s too hot to move with armor on. You would wear the belt kit, keep your armor in your ruck, stop close to the objective, and put your armor on with your belt kit over top

so its modern alice gear

It's basically a modernized version of the M1956 Individual Load Carrying Equipment used by our guys in Vietnam. the M1956 gave way to the M1967, which replaces a lot of the old cotton canvas with nylon duck fabric; then the All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE), which was common issue from the 80s all the way to the 90s when it was replaced with the MOLLE gear used by soldiers during the GWOT in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Appears to be an upgraded version of the LBE rig we used during the 70s - 90s.

Great looking rig. I started on my carry rigs in the late ''60 - to early'70s .I used a similar type rig anywhere...not just jungle. One suggestion is that you can wear it higher on the body and even wear a gun belt below the "jungle" rig depending on the amount of carry mission gear required. Combining new tech with older gear, you can still wear a Camelback tied on to the suspenders. They are cooler and you can even open landscape down the front if you want to get closer to mother earth. If you look back the the M1 rifle belt in WW2, you may note it was worn above the waist. Thanks for the video.

In terms of any environment H suspenders and belt is what a fighter needs. It can carry your fighting load and squad ammo. Leaving your camel back or assault pack for water, and other mission gear or a ruck for sustainment.

We never should have moved away from this style of rig. The "counter-insurgency" strategy never worked. We should have been outfitted and trained for long-term, sustained, independent operations. Very short-sighted leadership back then. I'm happy that newer leaders have some common sense and can see the writing on the wall.

I'm just curious and would like your opinion. How would you put on your armor plate? I'm from South East Asia and totally agree with you that when fighting in the tropical rain forest, you really need a lot of air vent to keep body temp cool otherwise the heat will get you before the enemy's bullet. The armor plates and the bulky clothing the US and "western countries" soldiers wear totally reduce their fighting ability. We wear a very thin layer clothing just enough to protect us from the environment. But the armor plates are very important for protection. It would be great to invent something lighter than those steel plates that can be used in the tropical heat environment.

@MochiMoose

10 күн бұрын

Eagle Industries makes something called the Ergo Performance System, that keeps the plates from being directly on your back and chest, allowing better ventilation. Militaur and 221B Tactical have their ventilation systems, though I’m not sure how well those two actually work, and then platatac has their ICE vent system, which I’ve also heard is pretty good. For staying cool for a single day, Qore Performance has their ice plates if you can freeze them, they will keep you cool until the ice is melted and your body heat/ambient temperature heat up the water inside, but if nothing else, it’s a solid way to have some cold drinking water instead of a squishy bladder. Just know if you drink half the water in the ice plate and still have half left in there, it’s gonna make a little noise, sloshing around inside. Might be best reserved keeping you cool and for emergency drinking use or only while actually fighting. Hope that helps

They do, they probably didn't wear it for the video though as it hinders mobility a bit. If the US actually adopts 6.8X51mm as its standard infantry arm cartridge any opposing force would almost certainly be better off with IIIA soft armor to stop shrapnel and pistol rounds, because 6.8X51mm appears to go through level IV plate pretty damn easily, so why have some bulky and heavy plates attached to your chest when they won't stop the threats they'll encounter? soft armor would likely become the new standard until someone can make plates that stop 6.8X51mm.

After seeing Admin Result's very recent video about changes in body armor and doctrine, it makes sense that there's a shift towards going back to the chest rig and LBEs over the plate carriers, especially for long-range missions and mission essentials in different environments. Hell, I got a flat pack and chest rig that I can easily take off of my plate carrier and turn it into a chest rig with pack if need be. But for combat situations that can happen at any time, I'm still reluctant on giving up protection over speed. A balance needs to be meet which is why I'm considering a slick plate carrier.

Nice to know my old LBE is in fashion again (although I preferred to rock the old woodland camo LB vest).

This isn’t new 😂😂

That army combat prototype can certainly make lives more cost-efficient friendly. These soldiers deserve more compensation somehow.

So its the same setup i had in 86 and am rocking today!

1970s and 80s Army and Marines are like “wow, how innovative “

We always go back. We wore a mix of Y and H harness suspenders when i was in. Some things just work, now go back to the jungle boots we wore, they worked also. Cheers

What was old is new again! Good to see my good 'ol 1980's LBE set-up ready for a Cold-War European fight is now making a comeback once again. I always kept mine and I was still wearing it while right up to the early 2000's. when deployed.

This style of webbing has never gone away.

Oh Pohakulua! So many cold, windy and bitter nights that spent there!.never thought that I'd see snow in Hawaii.

I joined the Marine Corps in 1997. That is exactly what we had when I first joined H-Harnes from Vietnam. Our Flacks were in Vietnam as well. When 9-11 and how our gear changed from then to 2020 when I retired. It changed of course to what we used in OIF/OEF and whatever we called it when we were fighting ICIS out of Iraq and other places. Not a new rig. I still use the rig now that I got before we moved to the new stuff. It works great. I also use my oversized Alic Pac which is also old school. Warfare never changes just the environment.

Most army thing ever. Hey go test this jungle kit in the high dessert. Chef kiss.

A pack ON THE BACK(filled with water bladder and other sustainment gear like food and shelter) with a rigid internal frame supported by a lightly padded hip belt is STILL the best way to carry a load. That load is supported on the HIPS and NOT on the shoulders, where the web gear is supported.But attached web gear or independentlyworn web gear is still needed

What company make the 6-point harness?

(former rifle platoon leader) It is a military tradition that generals want an army which can win the last war. I'm astounded the Army is thinking of this BEFORE we get into the next war - unlike Vietnam and post-911. So much of the last two decades was fighting in built-up areas where the soldiers fought standing up. To use a WWII joke, "I can't get any lower, my buttons are too thick." In jungles/forests you fight prone or very low; we moved all our gear to our sides and back.

Could you hike any section of the Pacific Crest Trail? Bring All You Need, Carry All You Bring. Your Mileage May Vary.

Awesome! I love the Vietnam era like web gear. I have a 1965 web gear myself. We should test them out on our joint exercises with Philippines/Japan etc.
