User:The All-knowing Sith'ari/Individual Load Carrying System

The Individual Load Carrying System (ILCS) is the current tactical webbing system in use by the UNSC Army and Marine Corps. It consists of a belt, yoke (shoulder harness) and a number of pouches. Associated with ILCS webbing is a series of other similar load carrying equipment and rucksacks.

The purpose of ILCS is to hold everything a soldier needs to operate for 48 hours. This includes ammunition/weapon ancillaries, entrenching tool, bayonet, food and water (and a means to cook), and NBC protection. Soldiers will also often carry other items such as waterproof clothing and spare socks.
