Why This Prototype Combat Rig Could Help Army Soldiers Fight A Possible War With China | Loadout

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.

The LT is showing what is functionally identical to the Load Bearing Equipment I wore in 1986. And predated my enlistment to the Vietnam war.

I was rocking this in the British army. Came to the US Army, and was called “weird.” Now I’m laughing.

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.

As an old Jungle Soldier I’m going to be frank here. That is not a new rig. We called it web gear or LBE (Load Bearing Equipment). The contents might be somewhat newer in how the carried resources are manufactured but from what this shave-tail listed as his “new” equipment is EXACTLY the same as what we carried back in the day.

That new LBE looks like it has come full circle - what was issued in Vietnam and then modified to a lighter material that was resistant to rot and used in the 1980s to 1990s.

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.
