History

The Individual Integrated Fighting System or IIFS was introduced in 1988 as a possible replacement for the All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment in United States armed forces service. The IIFS replaces the age-old concept of a shoulder-harness suspenders and individual equipment belt design with the newer concept of a tactical load-carrying vest. The IIFS vest is also known as the Tactical Load Bearing Vest or TLBV, or sometimes as LBV-88.

The vest would hold the ALICE belt where you would still have ALICE pouches. The pack system was a major upgrade, with neat pack that was a large internal frame rucksack with a removeable patrol pack. The primary color is Woodland Camo, but at least one 3 color desert has been spotted. Large overstocks of existing olive drab Alice items prevented mass changeover of all existing Alice items to Woodland Camo
