.............. 

In the year 1997, the Defence Clothing & Textile Agency (DCTA) had decided, that Type 90 Pattern (Infantry) equipment was to be scaled and issued in the following capacity.








About 10 years ago, USAF Security Forces worked with Eagle Industries to develop the DF-LCS. This was the first time that a load carrying system had ever been developed specifically for the Air Force's largest career field, its security troops. They took lessons learned from other MOLLE-based systems and adapted it to their mission and standard loads. Initially adopted in OD Green since Woodland camo was the standard, the USAF has transitioned to their new Digital Tigerstripe Pattern, so not many OD Green sets were made.
