History
In 1988, the Integrated Individual Fighting System (IIFS) was adopted by the Army. The design was based on commercial backpacks modified for military use with the addition of a special fighting vest and a detachable patrol pack. The original focus was to develop a load-carrying system for use in cold weather. However, in the final analysis, the Army selected the new internal frame system as a replacement for the external framed All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment system.
Components
The Integrated Individual Fighting system (IIFS) consists of :
- Individual Tactical Load Bearing Vest (ITLBV) ,
- 40mm Grenade Vest ,
- Field Pack Large with Internal Frame (FPLIP) ,
- Extreme Cold Weather Sleeping System (ECWSS)
Description
The IIFS was designed to improve efficiency through more even distribution of the load weight and reduce bulk.The Components of the system are constructed of lightweight materials to reduce overall weight .
The ECWSS will provide enviromental protection between +40°F and -45°F ( +5°C and -46°C ) and is intended to be used with the foam sleeping mat.
IFFS System Description
The IFFS is composed of eight separate equipment and clothing items that , when used together will lighten individual combat loads.When used with the components of Extreme Cold Weather Sleeping System the ECWSS will afford protection for various enviromental conditions .

40 mm Grenade Vest [NSN : 8415-01-317-1622 ] Date : 24-MAR-90
The Vest is designed to transport the basic load of 40mm grenade ammunition for the grenadier .
It is a one-size-fits-all item constructed of very strong nylon fabric and webbing.
The Vests weights 2.1 lbs empty.It provides space for 14 HE Grenades and 4 Pyrotechnic Projectiles in permanently attached grenade pockets.
Pack, Patrol, Combat [NSN : 8465-01-287-8128]
Pack, Patrol, Combat - The combat patrol pack is designed for short missions and offers 1200 cubic inches of cargo space in two compartments. The main compartment is padded to protect the back from heavy, sharp items. The main compartment incorporates two tiedown straps that can be used to stabilize equipment such as a field radio
Field Pack [NSN 8465-01-286-5356]
Field Pack - The field pack, also known as Field Pack, Large With Internal Frame [FPLIF] or Combat Field Pack M-1990[CFP-90], is constructed of an 8.0 ounce backcoated nylon fabric printed in the woodland camouflage pattern which has excellent abrasion resistance and water repellency
IIFS Field Pack [NSN : 8465-00-935-6825]
In the mid-1990s the M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment or MLCE Field Pack is resurrected for use with IIFSsystem. A modified olive green version of the M-1967 MLCE Field Pack [sometimes referred to as a "butt pack"] has been utilized for sometime as a "three-day training pack" in conjunction with the ALICE system, but is not a component of it. TheIIFS version is manufactured in the woodland camouflage pattern and retains the same National Stock Number as the M-1967 MLCE version [the "three-day training pack" also retains the same National Stock Number].

GENERAL.
The IIFS is composed of eight separate equipment and clothing items that, when used together will lighten individual combat loads. When used with the components of the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System, the ECWSS will afford protection for various environmental conditions.
Individual Integrated Fighting System (IIFS)
The IIFS system was a partial replacement for the ALICE system. Replacing the suspenders would be a dedicated vest with sewn in pouches. 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 from USAF private purchases. Large overstocks of existing olive drab Alice items and the end of the cold war prevented mass changeover of all existing Alice items to Woodland Camo or even full implementation of the IIFS system.

The IIFS replaces the partially obsolete concept of a shoulder harness, in the style of suspenders, and individual equipment belt design, with the newer concept of a tactical load bearing system that employs a vest. The vest as being the main component, is known as the TLBV (Tactical Load Bearing Vest), sometimes referred to as the LBV-88, the M-1988 LBV and later known as the ETLBV (Enhanced Tactical Load Bearing Vest).
