What equipment does the U.S. Army have now?

The U.S. Warfighter equipment now covers four major aspects of personal protection, survival protection, weaponry, and night vision equipment. To a U.S. Army rifleman load, for example, in addition to man-portable weapons, he is generally dressed in anti-nuclear, chemical and biological three-proof clothing, gloves, masks, as well as the standard configuration of the bullet-proof undershirt, man-portable binoculars / scopes, night-vision devices and batteries, etc., he would also like to shoulder a sling-type carry equipment, its back frame for the aluminum alloy, which is loaded with bullets, water bottles, GPS, PDAs, reconnaissance equipment, chemical and biological weapons detector The carrier is made of aluminum and contains bullets, water bottles, PDAs, reconnaissance equipment, biological and chemical weapons detectors, medical first aid kits and even spare underwear. Counting down a soldier's back hanging a variety of equipment varieties not less than a hundred, with "armed to the teeth" are difficult to describe. According to the current 1996 version of the U.S. Army man-portable weight standards, the U.S. man-portable load than the World War II period doubled. Many of the U.S. Army's man-portable equipment is multi-functional. U.S. troops wearing Kevlar helmets are not only to defend against bullets and shrapnel, but also to become a soldier's "second brain". Currently in Iraq, the United States Marine Corps soldiers wear helmets to accommodate a micro-radio equipment, a microphone and a pair of headphones, to facilitate the soldiers with their comrades and commanders to contact. The radar device on the top of the helmet will report the exact location of the soldier. And the American soldiers wear boots is not trivial, the U.S. Army in Iraq is equipped with desert combat boots contain 15 kinds of new inventions and new technology, not only can be strong sweat absorption, breathability, and even Iraqi anti-American armed forces set up iron nail array can not help the U.S. Army this pair of desert combat boots. Even the U.S. Johnson and Johnson for the U.S. military production of stopping underwear has a wonderful use, because the Iraqi desert gravel as fine as talcum powder, U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq with stopping underwear over the muzzle of the gun, you can prevent these tiny gravel blocked barrel. In addition, U.S. soldiers who have entered the information age are covered with various sensor materials. Motorola provides a kind of micro-computer for U.S. soldiers, actually installed a small mouse on the belt of the uniform. In this way, computers and communications technology will become the most common weapons worn by soldiers in the waist, back, shoulders and head. This equipment puts soldiers in direct contact with higher command and communication systems.

Gulf War period: 1991 Gulf War when the U.S. Army's man-portable load for a detailed analysis, so that we can see the real U.S. soldiers in his backpack in the end some of what! Of course, the U.S. Army due to the lessons learned from the 1991 war, in 1996 to reorganize the standard of the man-portable weight, now the soldier's equipment has been some difference with the year, but the man-portable weight is not like tanks and aircraft, and its room for improvement is limited. Therefore, the year's standards can still be used as a good reference for the weight of the U.S. Army soldiers! The U.S. Army standardized man-portable equipment is a belt-and-shoulder harness. It is made of nylon material, which does not absorb water and does not gain weight from rain or submersion. The full set of load consists of an external belt, shoulder harness, shoulder pads, spade holster (plastic), cartridge pouch, canteen holster, reserve pouch, and carrier, which is made of aluminum alloy. The U.S. Army divides the man-load into combat load and marching load, and believes that the standard combat load for all seasons and regions should not exceed 18 kilograms, and the marching load is less than 25 kilograms. However, the actual situation in 1991 were exceeded! At that time, the United States rifleman load as an example, a detailed analysis is as follows: equipment name / temperature zone (kg) / dry cold zone (kg) Weapons: M16 rifle with 30 rounds of magazines bayonet / 4. 17/4. 17 Ammunition: 6 magazines, 4 grenades / 4. 98/4. 98 Combat gear: water bottles (full of water) / 1. 63/1. 63 spade, spade set / 0. 91/0. 91 Carrying gear (outside the belt, shoulder strap, first aid kit, cartridge pouch) Carrying gear (external belt, shoulder harness, first aid kit, cartridge pouch)/1. 32/1. 32 Helmet and helmet liner/1. 41/1. 41 Dress code: underwear and socks/0. 27/0. 86 Field uniforms and trousers/1. 04/- Trousers, belt/--/0. 20 Woolen Nylon shirt/--/0. 68 Wool trousers/--/0. 76 Cotton nylon windproof sateen army trousers/--/0. 95 Cotton nylon windproof sateen blouse/ --/1. 45 Cold-proof polyester wadding live lining for top/ --/0. 33 Cold-proof polyester wadding live lining for trousers/ --/0. 29 Cold-proof live lining for Parker short overcoat/ --/0. 45 Combat shoes/-1. 52/- Cloak raincoat/0. 77/0. 77 Belt/0. 09/0. 12 Winter hat/--/0. 12 Woolen scarf/-. ---/0. 07 Bucket hat/--/0. 44 Three-finger gloves/--/0. 10 Arctic three-finger gloves/-- --/0. 29 Winter shoes/ --/2. 49 Subtotal of the above combat loads:/18. 1/27 Small backpack/0. 45/ -- Large backpack/- -/1. 36 Backpack white camouflage cover/-/0. 34 Spare clothing/0. 25/2. 08 Cloak cold liner/0. 25/- Sleeping bag/- --/3. 20 Inflatable mattress/--/1. 36 Sleeping bag waterproof cover/--/1. 02 Outer sleeping bag/--/2. 50 Rations one meal/. 0. 75/0. 75 Toiletries/1. 20/1. 20 Food utensils/0. 25/0. 25 Subtotal of the above survival load: /3. 1/14. 1 Total: (marching load)/21. 2/41. 1 As can be seen from the above information, in fact, the load of the U.S. Army infantrymen are still mainly conventional load, the above data is only standard data, in fact, when in combat, generally seldom carry only one meal rations, ammunition should also exceed the standard value. In practice, it is seldom possible to carry more than a single meal ration in combat, and ammunition must be carried in excess of the standard value, and the amount of water carried in desert combat must also be increased. In addition to the burden of not occupying the establishment of the AT-4 anti-tank bazooka and other equipment, as well as nuclear, biological and chemical protection of the three protective clothing, gloves, masks, as well as the standard configuration of the bullet-proof undershirt, the individual with binoculars / scopes, night vision and batteries, etc., the U.S. Army's soldiers will be much higher than the standard load. As for GPS, PDAs, radios, reconnaissance equipment, etc. are mainly squad level tactical units are equipped, can not do a set of manpower, and there is no need.
