M / 60

The oldest unified carrying system consisted of a combination of shoulder straps and a belt, with pockets on the belt. The pockets had leather straps. Normally, there were two cartridge pockets on the front of the belt, one on the right and one on the left, which included different types of weapon magazines used at the time, such as submachine gun barrels and barrel magazines, as well as a separate assault rifle case. To the back, a bread bag with a kit, a field bottle and stuff was attached to the center. Both the gas mask and bread bag could also be carried with their own shoulder straps. To the left came a Fiskars folding field shovel. The assault rifle's holster contained two rounds of fire in one pocket, or six. Another cartridge pocket may have had a raincoat on hand for a gas alarm . It is a good idea for a right-handed man to place a raincoat in his left pocket so that it acts as a cushion during the downfall. If needed, roll mines, tent stacks, etc. could be hung on the hooks on the front of the battle belt cutouts.


During the 1990s, the carrier system ceased to be used for military training. The carrier in the system was mainly a backpack m / 31, which since the 1960s had a perforation on the hooks in the battle belt incisions or sometimes a saddlebag.






----------------------------------------------




Fighting carriers can be roughly divided into three main types, but often combining features of different types. (Example M / 85)
Battle Belt

A traditional battle belt consists of a wide, often padded, belt that is supported by a shoulder strap. Pockets for attaching various accessories to the belt. At least some of the pockets are usually removable. The magazine pockets for projectile clips are fastened on the front, less important accessories on the back. Conventional combat belts have the advantage of having a large carrying capacity, and the back pockets can usually be taken without stripping the belt. However, the belt is difficult to use in vehicles and in confined spaces. Combat belts often aim to carry equipment (except ammunition and drinking water) for 1-2 days.
Battle vest

The waistcoat is a front zipper and / or buckle closure with either fixed or detachable pockets. The vest allows you to pack essential items in combat (projectile magazines, throws, first aid kits) so that they are more readily available than traditional combat belts. The vest sits tighter than the battle belt and is therefore more comfortable to wear. A drinking device or radio can be attached to the back of the vest. Accessory pockets can also be attached to the back at waist height, but these are often omitted because they are inconvenient when seated in vehicles. The armor in the battle vest should last for 12-24 hours. Because the carrying capacity of the jackets is lower than traditional belt equipment, a small (25-40 liter) backpack is often used to pack extra equipment. The backpack can be carried in the vehicle and can easily be removed during breaks or dropped in combat to reduce the burden. A typical fixed pocket battle vest has 4-6 magazine pockets at the front, above them chest material or discard pockets, and at the other shoulder a pocket for a radiotelephone. The other shoulder is left empty for the weapon's stern. In addition, the vest can have zippered pockets for maps and the like. On the back there are places for extra pockets and possibly a pocket for a drinker. There are often loops at the bottom of the vest that can be attached to, for example, the gun case.
Chest rig

On the Chest rig carrier, all supplies are packed on the front and sides of the soldier. The shoulder straps cross the back and attach under the armpits, and the "rig" is secured with a waist strap. Carrying capacity is very limited, usually only carrying projectile magazines, throws, first aid equipment and / or some drinking water. A typical fixed pocket chest rig has 3-4 dual pocket pockets at the front and sides for accessory pockets for eg field bottle and first aid kit. Because of its very limited carrying capacity, it is always used with military backpacks to pack other equipment. The Chest rig carrier has been tied up especially for tasks that require a lot of movement on vehicles, and on the other hand for groups that have to carry their backpack over long distances.
Protective vest as carrier

Em. in addition, pockets can usually be attached to existing body jackets. Nowadays, the Defense Forces already have a so-called. plate carrier type waistcoats with protective shields on the back and front, plus a MOLLE array throughout for attaching pockets. In addition, a separate accessory belt is often used with plate Carrier because the vest is designed to be as small, light and mobile as possible. The model used by the Defense Forces is called the Plate Carrier M13, but at least for the time being it is not distributed to some small professional groups.
Battle Belt in Finland


The Finnish Defense Forces have used several different types of combat belts (in Finnish military slang , for example, Tetsari ), the latest being the m / 05.


M / 60

The oldest unified carrying system consisted of a combination of shoulder straps and a belt, with pockets on the belt. The pockets had leather straps. Normally, there were two cartridge pockets on the front of the belt, one on the right and one on the left, which included different types of weapon magazines used at the time, such as submachine gun barrels and barrel magazines, as well as a separate assault rifle case. To the back, a bread bag with a kit, a field bottle and stuff was attached to the center. Both the gas mask and bread bag could also be carried with their own shoulder straps. To the left came a Fiskars folding field shovel. The assault rifle's holster contained two rounds of fire in one pocket, or six. Another cartridge pocket may have had a raincoat on hand for a gas alarm . It is a good idea for a right-handed man to place a raincoat in his left pocket so that it acts as a cushion during the downfall. If needed, roll mines, tent stacks, etc. could be hung on the hooks on the front of the battle belt cutouts.

During the 1990s, the carrier system ceased to be used for military training. The carrier in the system was mainly a backpack m / 31, which since the 1960s had a perforation on the hooks in the battle belt incisions or sometimes a saddlebag.
M / 85

The standard contents of the battle belt include:

There are differences in the content and packaging of the battle belt, depending on the task and the unit. The combat equipment must always be adapted to the task and the prevailing conditions.

If you only have a battle belt on your back, you will talk about light field equipment or combat equipment. In addition to the combat belt , the combat equipment includes a helmet, a weapon, a suit and a waistcoat . In addition to the combat equipment, the field equipment, the full kit, includes a 85 backpack.

In addition, a combatant in combat equipment usually has an equipment bag attached to his or her combat belt, which contains miscellaneous equipment such as changing or additional clothing, ammunition, food or drink. The field bottle can be carried on a hook on a battle belt or stored in a belt holster. Hooks can be used for attaching, for example, roll mines or twin cable reels.

With the battle belt, the crew uniform will no longer be used in the field suit, except for trousers M / 91 or M / 05.

LC-2

US ALICE-based fastening method. The fighter can himself place pockets wherever he wants with metal fasteners. The LC-2 system served as the official carrier for the United States Army from the mid-1970s to the Gulf Wars. The original ALICE system was supplemented with the LGB-E and LBV-88 systems. The systems are still used to some extent as US Marine Corps training and education equipment. However, as a rule, it has been replaced by the MOLLE system.
