small questions

Hi,

I have some small questions, I hope to find answers here :)I'm looking to start a new project

first: In combat zones, soldiers wear chest rigs and plate carriers? Or only one of them?

Second: What are the chest rigs and plate carriers used this days by the US army?

Last one: how or with what sling did he (soldier most right) his stock?


thanks

Hay I know that it depends on the soldier, some have the pouches on the plate carriers others will have a rig over the top, with this photo it is Australian SASR and the tall dude in ben Roberts-Smith VC,and with the slings in the photo it could be any brand? my guess is either SORD Australia or platatac.

Can you please specify to which unit, year, and where? That way we could give you better tips.

Ok, thanks.

I was thinking of a US soldier in MultiCam anno 2011-2013 in Afghanistan. What unit doesn't really matter as long it's has stationed in Afghanistan.

Still need to know which unit! There are so many variety of multi cam gear. Do you want SF or regular grunt?

Ow, I totaly didn't know there are many variety of multi cam gears.

Regular grunt like airborne or infantry.

-Regular ACH helmet.
-IOTV or KDH plate carrier
-MOLLE II pouches by SDS (issued)
-Eagle Ind or some other aftermarket pouches
-Chest Rig as shown above if you wanted to use IOTV

Thanks! This information is what I was looking for!

I got an offer for a HSGI Wasatch Plate Carrier, what about this? Go for it?

It is not used by regular army soldiers.

Usually the IOTV is worn and various molle pouches are attached to the vest. It can be a soldiers discretion or a unit level determination as to how many pouches are worn. As for slings a quick release is preferred but some are stuck with the traditional sling that does not detach. The quick release is preferable that way when you hop in your truck, or go to chow you press the plastic connector and set your rifle down.
