History

MOLLE Evolves for the Army and is Replaced by the USMC

Based on user feedback on the original system, the MOLLE requirements were modified to eliminate the need for a quick-release frame that integrates into the load-bearing vest. The change allowed developers to replace the probe and socket mechanism, which caused problems for some soldiers and Marines, with a quick-release mechanism for a more traditional permanently-mounted waist belt on the frame.

In Afghanistan, troops noted that MOLLE zippers were bursting open when the bags were stuffed full. Another defect was that the straps weren't long enough to be easily adjusted over body armor such as PASGT or Interceptor. MOLLE was changed to provide locking zippers and longer shoulder straps.

The Marine Corps was not satisficed by the evolution of MOLLE and has replaced MOLLE (and the aging ALICE (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) with the Improved Load Bearing Equipment (ILBE).

Description

MOLLE II Modifications

Field user feedback on the original MOLLE led to modified designs to some of the MOLLE components. With these changes, MOLLE became MOLLE II. Specific changes included:

• Eliminated the quick-release frame integrated into the load bearing vest (LBV)
• The probe and socket mechanism changed to a quick-release mechanism for frame waist belt, now permanently-mounted to the frame
• MOLLE II permanently attached waistbelt comes in one size (Same NSN as the MOLLE size small waistbelt, NSN 8465-01-465-2109)
• MOLLE LBV redesigned to eliminate the molded waistbelt, called the MOLLE II Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) (Same NSN as the MOLLE LBV. NSN 8465-01-465-2056)
• MOLLE Utility Belt (NSN 8465-01-465-2082) eliminated by building the functionality into the vest
• MOLLE butt pack replaced by the MOLLE II waist pack (Same NSN)
• MOLLE II Pouch, Canteen Carrier/Utility was introduced (NSN 8465-01-484-0450)
• MOLLE 30rd Single Magazine Pocket Eliminated (NSN 8465-01-465-2079)
