Australian LAND-125 Combat Load Carriage Equipment / Phase 2B


As part of Phase 2B of the Land 125 Soldier Combat System Program, development of Individual Combat Load Carriage Equipment (ICLCE)

LAND 125 Soldier Combat System (Project WUNDURRA) refers collectively to various pieces of infantry equipment which is being planned and phased in by the Australian military. It is designed to enhance the performance of the individual Australian close combat soldier and small teams as part of a network enabled force.

As part of Phase 2B of the Land 125 Soldier Combat System Program, development of Individual Combat Load Carriage Equipment (ICLCE) commenced to find a better solution to the age-old problem of enabling the individual soldier to carry what he needs into the battlefield without burdening him to the point of being detrimental to combat effectiveness.

In deference to soldiers traditional penchant for customising personal webbing the new ICLCE goes to new lengths in providing a platform by which different pouches can be affixed onto the vest in a variety of configurations.

Trials in Timor-Est were conducted with regular infantry units being issued with an experimental set of webbing vest, colloqially coined zip-loc webbing as pouches were often affixed to the vest using cable-ties (in reality there was a packet of green plastic threaded washers available for this task but they were seldom issued with the vests). Although the units issued with the vest liked the modularity of the system, the material construction of the equipment did not lend itself to the rigours of operational demand and the webbing system was soon withdrawn from regular battalions and re-issued instead to certain reserve units.

The Land 125 ICLCE was designed not only to improve on the zip-loc webbing but also incorporate features from parallel webbing developments occuring in other countries. Consequently, the ICLCE adopted the interlocking webbing tape fastening system first utilised by the MOLLE webbing system developed for the US Marines. The material construction has also been improved resulting in greater durability in operational, particularly sub-tropical areas.

Reports are that the webbing is popular with the end-users. Heat retention issues are moot as the system is worn over a ballistic vest anyway. Current issue ballistic vests now also feature the MOLLE latticework to allow affixing ICLCE pouches directly onto the vest itself.




2005 Version & 2006-Current Version

The first Land125 vest first seen issued to Special force in 2004 and issued to infantry in 2005. The different between 2005 version and 2006 version is the vest bottom attachment for belt. 2005 version were using quick release snap fasteners, the drawback of this design was not durable and easy to fell off. 2006 version were using Nylon strap as an attachment for belt. Drawback is the belt was easy to slip down when it was carry heavy pouches on it.
Another different is on the belt. 2005 version of belt is narrow on two sides and broad on back, comforter and belt can be using in seperate. 2006 version was combin the belt and the comforter into one piece and also design it whole piece broader. 2005 version is comfortable when using because narrow on two sides will not hinder the legs movement but snap fasteners were wasting the molle pals. 2006 version problem was seriously hinder legs movement.

The SASR continued to search for a distinctive desert camouflage uniform and in 1998 they were issued a three-color variation of the standard Disruptive Pattern Camouflage. Often called Mk 1 Desert AUSCAM, the pattern featured sand & brown colored spots on a tan background. The uniform itself is officially designated Desert Pattern Disruptive Uniform (DPDU) and hence that term is also often applied to the desert camouflage pattern. 


The first version, from 2001, was printed in 3 colours (brown and grey on a tan background)
The Mk 1 desert pattern was fielded by the SASR when they originally deployed to Afghanistan in 2001-2002; however, as the colors were universally disliked the pattern was not adopted.



A second version from a year later used 5 colours: brown, lime green, grey, and a very light blue on a tan background.
A second version of desert AUSCAM (Mk II) was then tested in Afghanistan between 2002 and 2003.
This version featured mint green, grey, brown & light grey spots on a pinkish background, and saw service with the SASR and other Australian units deployed to that theater. Again, users were critical of the colors, so this was dropped as well.


This was followed by a third issue in: brown, grey, very light blue and purple on a yellow background.
Beginning in 2002, then a third version of the desert AUSCAM (Mk III) was approved and issued to Australian personnel deployed to Afghanistan. Featuring pale green, brown & grey spots on a yellow-tan background, this color combination was deemed the most effective and ultimately appproved for general issue to the Australian Armed Forces. It has continued to serve in arid theaters of deployment and has remained relatively unchanged since.
