PC GENIII Training Video 

Lets make an effort to get back to our amphibious roots and conduct more operations in the littorals. You know what goes great with sand and water? Zippers, lets put zippers on the new plate carriers.

lmao the Marine Corps' latest and greatest plate carrier is still years behind plate carriers that have been around since 2010

Looks like people who "design and inventing" these PCs never use them wear them or understand what is needed.

I don't see why you would use anything other then the low profile configuration with the side armor plates if you're a regular grunt. Everything else just looks like unnecessary material and bulk.

This is going to be a CIF nightmare 🤣 Goodluck boys! Glad I got out using the Gen II PC!

Take the soft armor out of the inner carrier and put it in the outer carrier, get rid of the inner carrier and boom, great weight reduction

Why do i have to wear a vest inside another vest to make the vest im using work properly..?

Laser cut gear, we are entering the new era I see... too bad it looks awful and makes a lot of problem to attach anything - not to mention if you have an "accident" it will torn your vest not a single molle unit. The use of zippers for maritime unit is also odd.

Thats quite alot of overlapping nylon right there. Granted its alot lighter than the previous PC, but still.

Video was VERY helpful, thank you

While I do think this is an improvement from the last few body armor systems we have had, this is still a step in the wrong direction.... Modularity is not at all important to a grunt. Comfort and weight are... (I don't mean modularity as in 'where can I put my pouches', I mean, that this vest shouldn't try to be everything at once...) We want a trim, light vest. No fucking soft armor. Give me level four plates, front and back, and give me the option to have side protection if required... And that's a whole other argument on it's own, since side SAPIs don't even cover your vitals, they cover your gut and lower ribcage... Speaking of covering your gut, stop making Marines wear plates that go down to their beltline.... just below the ribs is where they should sit... the JPC is a far better platform, and if you want side sapis, just design a pouch that will hold them... Not saying we need something that trim, but mobility is gonna save more lives than being weighed down with a bunch of armor. Ask any grunt.

Still haven’t got issued these yet

This looks incredibly complicated for the average end user. Here in Canada, while far from perfect, we have our frag vest with plates, then our tactical vest with all our pouches. They are both front opening and easy to put on and off, simple and common sense

Was the groin protector omitted in favor for the newer style of Kevlar speedos?

Crazy still haven’t got it

The plate carrier designs looks very futuristic. I do wonder if cleaning the carrier would be a bit more difficult however, considering they are using the laser cut design instead of the MOLLE.

How do I put the law enforcers one together

I wish everyone got this honestly, these help so much more with armor fatigue

what the hell is a jib jab strap? sound kinky 22:15

Lots of people complaining in the comment, but I can tell you this is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the army. Their gen 4 iotv is just a copy of the older pc I got issued in 2014 in the corps. Even the recruits are now using the older pc while the army still uses the juggernaut looking gen 2 iotv for their basics and infantry training (osut). I'm here wishing I had the older pc instead of these pieces of shits iotv. There's mf in here wanting stuff like crye when they know that stuff is reserved for the high speed guys, these carriers borrows designs from first spears, spiritus, and Mayflower so be happy. Also, laser cut isn't as fragile as you think and as long as you weave them properly youre not going to rip it simply by getting caught on a tree branch, you will need to be putting your whole weight plus attachments on 1 row to rip the damn thing, some laser cuts have reinforced stitching around the slits.

Wish someone can just show me how to do mines

Instead of making shit so bulky and heavy. How about utilizing something that's lighter? Or something that actually allows you to properly shoulder a rifle. Smh. Seeing this just makes me glad I'm out now and able to use better plate carrier options.

Any units actually have these yet?

Anyone elses unit get these yet?

how about instead of testing this shit on Marines that wouldn't use it, let INFANTRY line Companies test it in COMBAT training!!!!!

When will short plate sizing guidance be released?

👍👊

The Crye LVS seems to be a lot more better in terms of modularity and profile than this.

You guys can just throw all the law enforcement plate carriers out. Those law enforcement marines have brought us all enough pain.

Nice a new POS the corps spent millions inventing instead of just buying us all JPCs and making living conditions better that makes sense

I see a lot of doubt for this new plate carrier. I personally wouldn’t. First Spear makes some pretty neat stuff.

I'd stick with the PC gen 2 that looks like a nightmare

link to purchase please

Barley got mine while my whole unit has had it for a bit… and now I wanna kill myself seeing how much trouble I went through to get this lmao

The 3:1 rule of combat states that in order that for the attacker to win the battle, his forces should be at least three times the force of the defender. This somewhat vague statement has resulted in numerous interpretations and discussions from historical and military science points of view. So what's gonna happen if Congress passes the Assault weapons ban? Isn't that High Treason? Why does the dept of education need full auto weapons of war?

All the plate carriers are way too big and clunky. Better options out there

Oh the Marine Corps is showing its' age... RIP the Marine Corps.

You guys put a plate carrier inside of another plate carrier. I've never seen such a fucking thing in my life.

I think I prefer the current PC we have.

The female marine in this video is gorgeous 😵‍💫😵‍💫

But how much does it all fucking weigh?

where's the mag pouches? where's the practical testing? show me a marine running a buddy rush range with this thing, show me a marine practically using this in REAL TRAINING.

Oh, it's a Plate Carrier... I see... Not a Gen 3 Personal Computer...

All i see is a shitty and a trash plate carrier,which needs modern chest rig.LMFAO

Great, now I can't shoulder my weapon properly.

It just looks like they over complicated the whole thing and made it into a Russian nest doll, this is insane!!! Why not just go with Crye Precision AVS. Its still super bulky and overly big for no reason.

There is space unprotected by armor.. not a good design

This thing is the biggest piece of trash I’ve ever used, it’s obvious that a pogs or people that never use them designed it, I’m sure the ideas looked good on paper but most of the accessories are useless and very uncomfortable.

This looks terrible.....

Over-engineered AF. Just get us JPCs or something proven.

First

second

Sucks

This Plate Carrier is the living embodiment of waste of taxpayer money. Overcomplicated, too many pieces, heavy, and bulky. Like others have said a JPC 2 would be much better.
