A United States Army officer shares a modified combat rig that could offer service members a more optimized alternative to the traditional TAPS, or tactical assault panel system. In November, we spoke with 1st Lt. Zachary Calderone of the 25th Infantry Division during the Army's Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center, or JPMRC, training exercise in Hawaii. JPMRC is a large-scale 10-day training exercise where the US Army, along with international partners, utilizes realistic combat scenarios that prepare soldiers for battle with peer adversaries like China.
Based in Oahu, the 25th Infantry Division typically trains for combat in jungle environments. On this day, Calderone's platoon was operating in the P'hakuloa Training Area on the island of Hawai'i. While the tactical assault panel system is one of the Army's standard combat rigs, Calderone was tasked by his unit to test out a prototype optimized for jungle warfare.
Calderone breaks down the differences between what he calls the "jungle rig" and the standard TAPS rig, pointing out how the new rig offers superior adjustability and breathability.

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.

@Anarcho-harambeism Месяц назад

There's more modern and better made rigs. I've found a mix of belt kit and a chest rig make the best for a fighting load + sustainment. Body armor is nessasary in modern war, so well padded plate carriers with placard systems do fine

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.

@WehrmachtsParadise Месяц назад

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.

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

@Rupertman Месяц назад

You’d wear the plate carrier over the harness of this. We’ve been wearing this kit for near on 2 decades like that in the Brit army.

@streetfightinmanrs Месяц назад

Like our Brit counterpart said, if you get the suspension harnesses thin enough, you can also put the armor over this. I did this in Italy and it is great for jumping “TAPS exposed” with MSV’s slick carrier on as well. I didn’t need a waistband extension to make it all fit under the T-11 harness.

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.

@sableliger327 Месяц назад

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.

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.

Hello there ALICE belt. Nice to see you again.

@psyamok3735 Месяц назад

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.

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

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

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

So innovative. Doesnt look anything like a standard 1960s-2000s webbing.

@josephbowman1092 Месяц назад

That looks like a modernized version of the H harness we trained with in bootcamp when I enlisted in 2005.

Brits looking at us like we're crazy for discovering belt kit. All seriousness, this stuff looks solid. The issue I see is for vehicle mounted units like stryker brigaes or mechanized brigades. Belt kit doesn't work well in those conditions.

The biggest thing I recommend you do is lose the Securement rig because you probably know over time if you need to be dragged it's gonna choke you lower it where your adamant feels a lot more comfortable

So you're going back to the OLD harness, but in a Prototype-ey way. Looking good! SSG. U.S. Army (Medically Retired) Infantry / Sniper / SOF Intel (SOT-A), multiple tours
