The RACK frees up the hip and abdomen area by being worn on the chest
thus not conflicting with a waist belt on a rucksack. Additional space for
pockets is provided by a fold-up stash away bib that attaches on the D-rings
mounted on each shoulder strap. The bib has a pocket behind it that will
hold a pair of AN/PVS-7D's or the new M-24 mini binocular. The RACK is worn
with the shoulder straps crossed in the back or H harness style. The shoulder
straps are low profile webbing to work with a pack on or off and with or
without body armor. All new modular pockets on the AIRSAVE aviators survival
vest, Marine MOLLE system and Army Modular Load System (MLS) are compatible
with the RACK.
The RACK is issued with the following components: 4 pockets that each
hold 2 M-4 magazines and 2 twelve gauge shotgun rounds, 4 fragmentation
grenade pockets, 1 Saber radio pocket, 1 pocket that will accommodate
the AN/PRC-126 radio or can be used for General Purpose items (like chem
lights, weapons cleaning kit, etc.) and 1 Quart Canteen Pocket with a
stash away flap (this pocket can be used to hold more frag or 40 MM grenades
as well as NVG's etc), 1 leg pouch. The leg bag can be quickly snapped
on and off the leg via a 2" side release fastex adapter, and can
be positioned anywhere on the RACK harness.
The leg pouch provides storage for additional magazines, frags or demolitions
and pyro-technical signaling devices or a standard issue protective mask.
The leg pouch may also be slung on a general-purpose sling.Text from Specialtydefense
