Did the reporter say "largest offensive since Vietnam"?
But that's only 4,000 Marines for this offensive.
During Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah it was about 10,000 Marines.

Anyways, Godspeed to the Marines for OP Khaniar and GET SOME!!!!

Yes, it's the balls flap.

never saw one on a SPC before

could it be from the SPC system / MSAP system or just a makeshift from some leftover MTV/OTVs?

應該用返otv果塊, SPC係冇跟(說明書冇LIST有呢件PART

I just checked, should be something similar to the cummerbund in the MTV system.

Hopefully I can post some photos when my order arrives by the end of July

原來係ISPC

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.  —Marines with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, tested the Improved Scalable Plate Carrier, here, April 27- May 1.

Marines and civilian contractors from Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, Va., put Marines through various daily exercises similar to what they may experience while deployed in a combat zone to receive feedback on the improved body armor.

“Marines are performing basic infantry tasks to compare the currently fielded scalable plate carriers with what we believe is an improved version of that plate carrier,” said Capt. Richard Cushing, the project officer for the armor and load bearing team, Systems Command.

The exercises consisted of a three-mile hike with 50 pounds of weight plus small arms protective inserts (SAPI), clearing operations in an urban environment, a patrol through a wooden trail and an endurance course.  The same four exercises were done over a five-day period but with four different variables: with cummerbund and side SAPIs, without cummerbund, without side SAPIs, and with only the cummerbund. After each exercise, Marines were asked to rate how the ISPC felt.

The battalion was one of the first units to use the currently fielded plate carrier, a lightweight body armor vest, while deployed. After using the plate carrier for a few months in Afghanistan, Marines gave feedback to Systems Command personnel, who then made adjustments to the plate carrier based off of the Marines’ responses.

Some major suggestions Marines made were to decrease the amount of rubbing and chaffing on the waist caused by the side SAPIs and to increase the level of comfort in the shoulder area.

“We wanted to test the new, improved plate carrier with the same battalion to see if we answered the mail,” Cushing said. “The Marines seem to like the adjustments we made, but the biggest positive is that it appears that the changes to the shoulder area may in fact provide better load and weight distribution and comfort.”

According to Lance Cpl. Jesse Flynn, a squad leader with the battalion, the ISPC is “the real deal.”

“It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s much better than the old (Modular Tactical Vest) we used for a while in Afghanistan. It covers all of the necessary essentials, but it’s a lot easier to move and shoot.”

Staff Sgt. Robert Dawson, a platoon sergeant with the battalion, said the ISPC will definitely help out the Marine Corps, especially those Marines on the front line.

“(The ISPC) definitely gets an A-plus from me because of its increased mobility, durability and it gives us room to breath,” Dawson said. “It’s light, comfortable and very flexible.”

Systems Command and the civilian contractors also made changes to the MTV, a heavier vest. Last week, they conducted a similar evaluation with Marines from Headquarters Company, 2nd Marine Regiment.

“We put them through the paces and asked them to give us honest feedback on whether or not the newly improved MTV (IMTV) is better over the currently fielded MTV.

“Our basic concerns were improving the range of motion and mobility in the shoulder area, donning and taking off the system, and enhanced integration with the cummerbund and side plates,” Cushing said.

Cushing added that the ISPC and IMTV will give Marines more mobility, while providing the same level of soft-armor protection.  Soft armor is made from many layers of woven or laminated fibers and protects wearers from certain projectile threats as well as shrapnel fragments.

The systems will also give battalion commanders more options as they will be able to choose between the two systems.

According to MARADMIN 0254/09, “operating force commanders at the lieutenant colonel level or higher are authorized to determine the level of personal protective equipment (PPE) for wear by assigned personnel. Determination will be made based on mission, unit type, threat, and environment factors.”

The plate carrier will not take the place of the MTV, but will serve as a complement to it.

The IMTV should be used in missions where fragmentation threats are high. The ISPC is better suited for missions where direct fire is the main threat, Cushing said.

“Battalion commanders in the infantry and combat vehicle crewmen communities will be given complementary systems and will be able to make decisions based off their assessment of their mission,” Cushing said. “It allows (the commanders) the flexibility to alter the system based on their mission and to provide the Marines the best level of protection for that day.”

The Marines pull out completely? Thought they just leave the cities.
But I guess they really need to as they're pretty stretched out already and hey there's some asses to kick hard in Astan.

yeb, just pulling out of cities for the time being.

cant believe everything is outdated that fast..

ISPC, IMTV, MCAV
I'm going to have a heart attack if they do any major change to the optics and weapons system like new scopes or the IAR

Well, I hope you do know that everything after the IBA is just interim solutions until the actual next gen individual armour system, which was scheduled for 2010-12, but that may be postponed with the darn Liberals in Washington now tightening the defense budget.
