What gear/equipment do you carry/get issued? All branches
First off thank you for serving! You all have my prayers
A complete inventory list. Of gear ect everything! I was just wondering what you guys have on you? A total list/inventory all gear, mags, ammo, and weapon, socks ect everything Also I was wondering if some is required? Or can you pick and choose? And what is something you bring as a must have? Or upgrade? say the Marines, with the giant packs? And not just for BOB but for combat for you guys

And what is "everything"? Could you break it down? Like an inventory list? That's all that's in those huge packs? How much ammo? How much Water? General curiosity, I have always wondered what you carry

The 72 hr packs are the assault packs (school backpack size) and not the main packs. In those, depending on your position in the fireteam, you will carry about 300 rounds of ammo for yourself, between 6 and 10 magazines, a can or two of ammo for the saw gunner, spare barrel for the saw gunner, as much water as you can carry and maybe an mre that you've broken down so it fits better and weighs less. It isn't a good idea to use a military issue loadout as a template for a BoB. We generally operate under the assumption that food and water will be provided, one way or another, every 24 - 48 hrs depending on your mission. We also would be carrying stuff that we need, finger print scanner/camera, for our job that would be completely pointless for you getting out of a shtf situation. A better place to look for what to pack is a backpacking guide. Things like a water filter, fire starting equipment, shelter if you aren't confident in building your own, etc. The only thing you would add to that guide is a field repair kit for your weapon(s), ammo, and magazines.

If you're really set on mimicking military survival gear, you wanna look toward the CMU-33A Airsave vests that pilots and aircrew carry... we're the only ones I can think of who truly carry a "survival kit" because, if we're on the ground, it means we're surviving and evading; not fighting. The vest is molle, and the pouches can be customized and loaded with whatever minimum survival gear you feel you'd need... the radio pouch could be used to carry a poncho, survival blanket, or other shelter-making item. You could also attach the pockets in a way that allows you to wear a backpack over the vest and still have access to all worn gear. On the topic of backpacks... one of the best sources for basic 72hr survival backpacks is Mormon/LDS supply companies. You can buy pre-made kits like these, which come with a cheap backpack... and then transfer everything to a better quality pack that you could add a few more molle pouches to. Another advantage to the CMU-33A/backpack combo is that you can't always wear a backpack. Driving with a pack on, for example, would be challenging... but you can wear a -33A while driving; that's why we wear them while flying. Let's say you're in a theoretical scenario where sh*t has begun to hit the fan and you're trying to bug-out: you've loaded you pack and long guns/ammo in the vehicle, and you're wearing your -33A and a pistol... suddenly, things go from bad to "oh, f**k!", and you have to abandon your vehicle in a hurry and run for your life. You've just lost your pack and long guns... but you're still wearing your -33A with minimal survival gear an a pistol for defense.

Over the years I have deployed with Marines and Navy Seals; what the various units carry is based on their training and what they think they will need based on intel and mission experience. There are training avenues available that teach a bit about movement, and tactics. Get a few classes, gain a little experience and build an equipment list that works for you, in your situation, in your environment. I have worked with my local county Search and Rescue unit for more than 15 years - in that time my pack configuration is vastly different than say a person that graduated the academy a few years ago, the difference? My experience of what I need and where I need it. I still have the entire required list, but things I need and use are much more accessible than other items. |

Not really. Nothing we get issued is particularly fancy. Most of it is the same thing that was issued in Vietnam just with a new coat of paint so to speak. Now, if he were asking about the countermeasures systems on the aircraft, yes, I would agree with you.

For me, it's basic Tom Cruse Cosplay: flightsuit, boots, gloves, dogtags, helmet, and vest with basic survival gear. Only if you tell him about the cloaking devices and miniature black helicopters...

At least in the Army, it can be broken down by MOS and unit as to what gear and weapons you will be issued. Some S-1 clerk is not going to get half the gear/weapons an infantryman will get. OP, it sounds like you're asking so you can put together an airsoft kit. You have it written all over your posts and I'm not going to help. The information is out there if you want to find it, but even if you're not some airsofter, people are going to take your questions the same way I have on other forums. It shouldn't be hard to find by researching it yourself. |

Lets see what to learn. Frank is a bubble head machinists mate rode a fast attack the way his list is configured. The P-3 is a weapons system if you hit them on the head with a buoy. The only bad part of being on P-3's is you have to go to Coronado and Warner springs for the fun stuff. Prisoner 48here. Riding around on three engines so you conserve fuel and can stay longer is real commitment.
What did they say Military and intelligence doesn't go together. When you get notice imminent attack get drunk and fall asleep. When the village is empty get up and look around stuff to hit the fan. My favorite line in a movie don't take that well what should I take? More ammo dude. |

What else are you going to carry your compass in? Car window breaker- perhaps pointless but most guys I knew kept their window breaker/seat belt cutter in their POVs. ECWCS is useless? Tell that to the guys in Fort Drum. I guess you've never been to Afghanistan. Mosquito net- Depends on where you're stationed. Daps- extremely useless, I agree. Camelbak is useless? Know how I know you're a pog? I'll agree some of the gear they issue us may be useless (not a lot) but the items you listed were terrible examples. |
