Queste 3 sono interessanti perchè finalmente si fa un pò di chiarezza sui chest rig da mettere sull'SPC. Questo modello che si vede bene in tutte le foto non è altro che un "aggiunta" (si vede che è fissato tramite fettucce e fastex e non è un vero chest rig) e non la prima volta che si vede, oltre tutto il colore è perfettamente compatibile con l'SPC e le altre tasche, quindi azzarderei che è realmente issued. Resta solo da capire il nome e la marca che al momento ignoro :D

Marines from 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Battalion, wait to board a CH-53E Super Stallion on the flight line here Sept. 2. The Marines were transported to Kajaki Dam by Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361. HMH-361 is one of the primary personnel and cargo transport squadrons for 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward)
Questa foto è particolare perchè se ci fate caso, si vede per la prima volta in maniera molto limpida, l'ILBE main pack versione RECON sul campo, ne parlavo tempo fa con Red in privato. Per chi non lo sapesse, qualche tempo fa è stato ideato un nuovo ILBE system denominato ILBE RECON che diffiresci dall'orginale per un main pack più grande di 1500CC rispetto allo standard, tasche aggiuntive marpat esterne (utility), e il corpsman assault pack al posto del classico assault pack.
Inolte sull'ILBE RECON main pack, sono state aggiunte alcune file di pals molle e il "vecchio" sistema di ritenzione della sacca di idratazione source è stato rimpiazzato dalla cosiddetta "recon tail" (che in foto non si vede perchè è assente) che non è altro che un lungo rettangolo di cordura dotato di pals molle che si attacca al resto del corpo tramite fastex.
In questa foto la differenza è lampante ma si vede anche dalla HI RES ;)
https://i52.tinypic.com/1zwc02r.jpg
Beh che dire... se nel main pack standard c'entra il mondo, nel main pack recon ci va l'intero universo! Tant'è che il tipo col recon non ha manco bisogno di usare l'assault pack come estensione (come gli altri) per portarsi tutto dietro :D
EDIT: dimenticavo... la versione recon è stata ideata per le unità con compiti speciali! Quindi force recon, marsoc e affini. In questa foto è un pò fuori luogo perchè il tipo che ce l'ha è un semplice combat engineer ma potrebbe essere un acquisto personale ;)

Complimenti per la ricerca. Bravo Shark.

Noooo! Sei riuscito a trovarle! Come ho messo nel topic delle news, pensavo fossero solo da lontano e ci fosse solo quel video (credo di si). Grande!

Marines with 2nd platoon, India Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 2, patrol through the area of Kajaki to locate and destroy reinforced, enemy fighting positions, Sept. 6. “We are pretty much surrounded by Taliban,” said Capt.

Comunque sono FR.
la didascalia in USMC news dice che sono la famosa branca MEU specializzata in MBSS. Fino ad adesso è stata chiamata in 3 modi diversi: MEU MBSS, MEU MIO (marittime interception operation), e ora l'ultima.... MEU MRF (marittime raid force).
Comunque davvero belle foto, credo sia la prima volta che escano foto e video di un "abbordaggio", sbaglio?

Strano, anche se sulle mie foto compare la stessa dicitura, in un'intervista al Gen. Conway, lui parla di FR.
Per le foto ed il video in effetti sono reperti alquanto rari...solitamente queste cose si fanno in segreto, ma é evidente che i Marines stiano incominciando quella famosa manovra pubblicitaria...

Lance Cpl. Daniel Tribell, a student with the Infantry Squad Leader Course, School of Infantry West -Detachment Hawaii, and fellow students pause on a security patrol during the offensive tactics and techniques portion of the course at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows Aug. 24. Over ISLC’s 45 training days, the students also learn advanced patrolling, military operations in urban terrain, demolitions, land navigation, combat hunter, fire plan sketches, and conduct unit training management.

Tom Becerra, students with the Infantry Squad Leader Course, School of Infantry West - Detachment Hawaii, discuss the route of their security patrol during the offensive tactics and techniques portion of the course at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows Aug. 24. “The mission of the Infantry Squad Leader Course is to give Marines the technical and tactical tools to begin leading their squad when they get back to the fleet,” said Staff Sgt. Eric Ciotola, chief instructor, ISLC. “It’s is the best leadership school an infantry Marine can go through.”

On the long-range patrols, squads attacked and cleared enemy positions.
