September five, 2014

When information technology comes to tactical gear, what you choose to wear and employ in terms of body armor, pouches and kit usually changes constantly, depending on your mission, terrain and climate. Merely because your kit and set up-up worked for one trip doesn't mean it'll work all missions. One time you get on the ground and start operating, you may discover yourself changing out what you use and wear at the start of your adjacent deployment, in order to match your mission and environs.

There are certain items I've establish I can't live without, and others, like body armor carriers (tactical armor plate carriers), that I change out depending on what I'm doing. Some items I've had forever, and some are relatively new. I've institute some of these new items to exist outstanding, and have made them permanent additions to my gainsay loadout.

Body Armor to Plate Carriers: A Quick History

In terms of trunk armor, what I wore in 2003 during the invasion of Iraq is very different from what I habiliment now. The starting time widespread belong issued; The Interceptor (regular for Army and the SPEAR/ BALCS for SOF) were based more than on the needs of a SWAT team entry member than a Soldier. A SWAT member typically only has to travel a brusk altitude to the target, usually from vehicle to the alienation point (less l meters) and wear their kit for a time measured in hours.

For Iraq this was o.k. The way nosotros executed operations were very much in line with SWAT operations with the more often than not flat the terrain and many improved roads. Well-nigh operations took identify in urban environments. Typically, i had to walk perchance ane,000 meters to the target from the infill platform and dorsum. At the time, my chore focused around CQB (Close Quarters Battle), for which the SPEAR vest, and later Eagle CIRAS Maritime, were appropriate. While these vest were heavy and bulky, being total vests to include side armor, they both offered the maximum in ballistic protection.

On the left SPEAR belong Iraq 2004, on the right EAGLE Maritime CIRAS 2005. Both offered great coverage and are cracking if y'all are only doing CQB. The event with both; too heavy and beefy for long dismounted movements especially over rough terrain. In the picture on the left, yeah that's an original 1945 Remington Rand I'm showing off, rebuilt and reissued into service. (Also notation the Safariland 6004 SLS driblet leg holster I have for it).

The effect with a full vest: Unlike SWAT operators, well-nigh Soldiers operating in Afghanistan can usually measure how long they accept to wear their gear in days, and are expected to be able to travel distances in miles at a time, rather than meters. The total-coverage SPEAR-cutting vests were fine for Republic of iraq, but in Afghanistan with its rough terrain and extreme elevations, total vests have proved fashion too cumbersome and heavy. Seeing the need for lighter gear, the U.Due south. armed forces has stepped up, and for some fourth dimension at present, we're also issued Eagle MBAV plate carriers.

I've used an Eagle MBAV on ii trips, and thought up until my well-nigh contempo trip that information technology was a perfectly acceptable plate carrier. I say "recently" because in the area I was assigned, the terrain was very unforgiving, and even the Hawkeye MBAV was too heavy and beefy. I'm actually behind the power curve compared to most of my peers. A lot of fellow Soldiers have learned a long time ago the need for a more minimalist style plate carrier, with a maxim emphasis on mobility and light weight.

Hawkeye MBAV 2012, 1st deployment using one.

Plate Carriers Tiptop Picks

The most popular plate carrier I see in use is the Crye Precision Jumpable Plate Carrier (JPC). The JPC offers the protection needed (existence able to hold issued Level-IV plates), and has simply enough MOLLE webbing to fit the pouches and gear yous need. The JPC is super-lightweight and has the tightest cut, thus offering maximum freedom of motion. Wanting to replace my Eagle MBAV, I wanted something with the same minimalist design equally the Crye JPC or a Tactical Assault Gear (TAG) Banshee Rifle Plate Carrier or Banshee (QD) Quick Deployment Burglarize Plate Carrier.

Crye JPC, considering it is a very streamlined and minimalistic in pattern, it is a very popular option among Shooters looking for a lightweight plate carrier.

In my search for a better plate carrier, I catastrophe up calling in a favor to a friend and former SF Dark-green Beret, Michael Lose, owner of ATS Tactical Gear. Every bit information technology turns out, he's been working on a plate carrier with the same minimalist design I've been looking for. He sent me his ATS Aegis Plate Carrier to attempt out, and I accept to say that I'm pretty pleased with it. At outset glance, it'south cut is very similar to a Banshee, which is exactly the way I was looking for. The plate carrier is sized based on the size of your hard plates. For me, that's a medium. My carrier came with a cummerbund, which Velcro's in the front and back and can be adjusted to fit by letting it out in the back of the carrier.

ATS Custodianship plate carrier front end and back, semi stripped of pouches.

The cummerbund contains side plate pockets. If difficult side plates are worn, they sit securely via elastic bands in the cummerbund. I use the side pockets to hold both soft armor panels and medical gear like chest seals. What makes the side pockets a perfect fit for breast seals is that the chest seals can be stored apartment in the pocket. Beingness like in size to a side plate, chest seals can fit in without having to fold or roll them upward. Chest seals tin deform over fourth dimension if folded or rolled upwardly for long periods. Permanent creases set in from being folded, and this can lead them to being less effective in making a seal when needed.

Aegis plate carrier from the side: The inside of the carrier I institute to exist well padded (not too much, just enough). Also notation cummerbund, within both small-scale soft side plates and chest seals. The shoulder pads open at the summit, facilitating hydration tubes and wires for communications gear.

The inside of the carrier is well-padded, and on the front of the carrier there are clips to clip in a breast rig. I didn't demand the clips. No problem. They can be un-looped from the MOLLE webbing. The Custodianship' shoulder pads are velcroed in on the inside, so you can have them off if you don't similar them. Since the tops Velcro open up, you can run hydration tubes or communications cables through them. I discover it a squeamish impact that the shoulder pads are included, unlike some other plate carriers out there which require you lot to purchase shoulder pads separately.

Overall, I'1000 very pleased with the ATS Custodianship plate carrier. It'due south the exact minimalist design I was looking for, holds all the gear I need, and is very comfortable to habiliment. My only regret is not getting information technology sooner in the deployment!

Custodianship plate carrier, front end and dorsum all, rigged upward. Note correct wearing of plate carrier (high in forepart to cover vitals). The Aegis has simply enough MOLLE to bear everything I need. Over the years, even though I have changed body armor numerous times, the basic load I like to carry has for the most part remained the same. My basic load consists of 6 rifle mags, 1-2 pistol mags, 1 grenade, radio, IFAK, hydration reservoir and a GP pouch for extra items like GPS, NODS etc.

Holsters

I product I've been wanting to embrace in DR for some time now are Safariland Holsters. For the longest time, the Safariland 6004 Self Locking System (SLS) Tactical Holster drop leg holster has been the industry standard. The 6004 was the 1st drop-leg I was issued when first getting into SF back in 1998, and I used it exclusively every bit my duty holster until last year (2013). Today, Safariland is all the same on top with their Automated Locking System (ALS) holster(s) used in conjunction with their Quick Locking System (QLS). Both the ALS and QLS have been out for a number of years at present, and are the top choice for both the Armed services and Law Enforcement for serious work.

I recall the ALS has bested the SLS pattern, equally I've found the ALS to be a tad scrap faster on the depict. At that place's no need to rotate the hood all the mode forward. Yous just need to pull back on the ALS lever with your thumb as you get a full grip on the pistol. And, putting the pistol away securely is a cakewalk. You just re-holster, and the pistol automatically locks into place.

Two Operators conducting pre-deployment training. Both are using Safariland ALS holsters attached via QLS mounts to drop leg platforms. On the left Berretta M9, the shooter on the right Glock 19. Also note Source Kangaroo 1l hydration pouch on the shooter on the correct.

This was a big issue with the SLS design. Nether pressure or stress, you lot run across a lot of shooters forget to rotate the hood back afterward holstering, possibly leading to losing your pistol in dynamic motion. It'south because of these aforementioned attributes (being fast on the draw and secure when you need information technology) that the Safariland ALS is as well very pop in the completion world, especially 3-Gun.

The Safariland QLS has become pop because it allows you lot multiple options in mounting the same holster to other rigs and platforms or using the same chugalug rig and using different pistols without having to switch whole holsters. Down range, how y'all see it beingness used the nigh (myself included) is a Safariland driblet leg or Universal Belt Loop with their QLS mounted to a duty or war belt. You may too encounter Soldiers using a second Universal belt Loop or paddle equipped with the QLS. While on mission, the Operator wears his holster on his war chugalug. Then, later on the mission, while hanging out on the Play a trick on or base, he tin unclip his holster from his duty belt to chugalug clip and tin can wear information technology stand-alone on a normal pants chugalug for personal protection.
I notice the QLS especially handy considering my piece of work gun is unlike from my personal pistols. I can switch out holsters very easily between my two state of war belts (I have one set upward for work, the other, 3-Gun) to lucifer whatever pistol I'm using, without having to switch belt rigs.

My current duty rig; Safariland SLS holster for a M9 attached to drop leg via QLS with a split up Universal Belt Loop. When I don't want to wear a whole battle belt to carry a pistol I can now just popular it off via QLS and attach to UBL. Note that'due south the same ATS State of war Belt reviewed here on DR back in June 2011. This is my tertiary trip using it and its holding up just fine.

Safariland holsters are also my preferred holster for competition like 3gun. Using the QLS I tin run one rig and change out holsters as needed.

Hydration

I've run a hydration pack on my kit since my very first gainsay deployment, usually a Camelback 2L reservoir in a Diamondback carrier. At present, following the minimalist theme, smaller 1-liter bladders have become popular. In an attempt to save weight and infinite on kit, many are now downsizing to carrying smaller bladders–just enough water to support yourself if needed for short excursions away from vehicles or your support gear (day packs/rucksacks). A very popular choice is from the Israeli company Source. I have a couple of their full size bladders, and simply recently purchased their Kangaroo 1L Collapsible Canteen reservoir to fit my ATS plate carrier.

When it came to reservoirs, I didn't really put too much thought into what make of hydration float I carried, as long equally it didn't leak. While I exercise like Source's fold-open pinnacle pattern for like shooting fish in a barrel refill of their reservoirs, information technology wasn't until a coworker turned me onto an accessory offered by Source, their Universal Tube Adapter (UTA), that I became convinced that Source products are the way to go.

Source Kangaroo 1L bladder

The beauty of the UTA is that now information technology's a simple matter of only detaching the sipping valve from the Source hydration tube and attaching the UTA when you need to refill your bladder. This is manifestly much easier than having to take your kit off or have you buddy top off your reservoir. The UTA allows y'all to hook it up direct to a faucet or cascade bottles of h2o right dorsum into the bladder. The UTA is a unproblematic accessory that makes staying hydrated easier than e'er.

Source UTA connects to reservoir via quick disconnect adaptor that comes standard on all Source armed forces products. Once UTA is connected to drinking tube you tin refill your bladder via bottles of water as pictured or claw information technology up directly to a faucet. Because of this Source in now my preferred hydration gear.

Side Note: Hydration Encompass

One particular that I've found to exist indispensable, and that has been with me since 2004, is a Nalgene insulated 2L reservoir cover. Working in the Eye E where summers get past 110 degrees, I've found the Nalgene insulated embrace to exist well worth the $15.00 I remember I spent on it. While it doesn't stave off the farthermost heat here forever, it certainly extends the time your h2o stays cold while on mission. Common practice here is to just put some frozen bottles of water in your kit, and, as they melt (which they will), you lot accept cold water to drink.

Using the insulated encompass, I can put ice-cold h2o in my float and have it stay common cold significantly longer than possible when not using one. Unfortunately, Nalgene has discontinued their insulated cover and I take yet to discover a company that sells something like. My plan now is to bring it into a sew shop and accept it trimmed down to ane-liter size to fit effectually my Source Kangaroo bladder.

Nalgene insulated embrace for a 2L bladder, too bad information technology is discontinued. This on my list every bit of gear to never leave dwelling without.

Packs

One item that I wish I had, only didn't bring, is a smaller day pack. For this deployment I brought a Camelback Motherlode. While it's an splendid iii solar day pack and makes a great issues-out bag if you lot desire to be able to pack lots of stuff, it's way as well much pack for what I needed. Most missions I conducted lasted around 24 hours or less in elapsing. For that, you only demand to be able to deport an extra hydration float, some extra ammo and IFAK items, spare batteries, and a MRE or two. If we did cease up operating longer, in that location are resupply systems in place to get you the stuff you demand. So, for mission sustainment, my recommendation is that 24hrs worth is all you lot really need.

Fifty-fifty though it's a great 3-24-hour interval pack, I found the Motherlode to be style too big and bulky, and it sits horribly on top of torso armor. Plus, I suffered from what a lot of people do when they become a large pack; you end up jamming likewise much extra stuff in information technology just considering y'all have the infinite. I also own the smaller Camelback Mil Tac HAWG, which I remember might have worked well only I did non bring (which I totally regret).

The best and most popular packs I see existence used are from TAG (Tactical Assault Gear) and Ares Armor. The TAG Combat Sustainment Pack and the Ares Armor Combat XII Pack are both very similar in design. Their master compartments are just big enough to arrange a hydration float, and you tin can stuff in a poncho liner or light jacket. Additionally, they come with split up outer pockets, which is keen for extra medical gear, grub, batteries etc. The best feature I remember offered past both packs; built into the top of each are triple M4 mag pouches, giving you quick and easy access to ammunition.

TAG'southward Gainsay Sustainment Pack; One main pocket for a hydration bladder, iii out pockets perfect for items similar batters, gainsay dressing and extra chow. On peak 3 separate pockets for M4 magazines and a small pouch perfect for an actress pistol mag or a Multi-tool.

The Ares Armor Combat XII Pack attached directly to the back of a Crye JPC. Like the Combat Sustainment Pack, it too has a master pocket perfect for a hydration bladder, outer pockets for quick admission actress gear and rifle magazine pouches on top.

I think the TAG Gainsay Sustainment Pack and Ares Armor Combat XII Pack are both excellent choices for a short elapsing sustainment pack. I frankly don't think you tin go incorrect with either ane. Each one is just the correct size to hold enough gear to back up a 24hr op, and not likewise beefy. Both tin also be worn either with straps similar a backpack or directly mounted to your plate carrier via MOLLE straps.

Size comparison; TAG Combat Sustainment Pack vs. the Camelback Motherlode. As you can meet the Motherlode is quite large being a true iii mean solar day pack. Plus it did not aid much that I added extra pouches with the intent of having quick access to; left Nalgene h2o canteen, centre pouch complete actress IFAK and right GP pouch for extra batteries and a cleaning kit. Plus you lot tin can barely see it in the photograph but I also have an extra M4 mag on both sides of the pack above the water bottle and GP pouch.

The Wrap Up

In that location is a common saying within the armed forces, "Carrying 100 lbs of lightweight gear does no good because information technology'due south however 100 lbs of gear." When prepping for a deployment, information technology'due south all about balancing protection vs. mobility and mission sustainment vs. weight. I'm in favor of using any tactical gear that saves weight, is adaptable, or prolongs a capability. Each ane of the items covered in this article falls into one of those categories. From the minimalist ATS Aegis plate carrier, the super adjustable Safariland QLS system, to mission sustaining Source hydration products, Ares Armor and TAG packs. All these items go my vote for swell options when choosing the right tactical gear for today's modern warfighter.
