Equipment Load Carrying System

The SPEAR Equipment Load Carrying System (ELCS) is divided into two basic categories of components, as follows:

  • a. Platform Components – Those items which pouches and accessories attach to (for example, Panel Set, Belt Assembly or H-Harness Assembly) , or which support the items which accept pouches (for example, Shoulder Pad Assembly).
  • b. Pouches / Accessories – Those items which are designed to attach to platform components and carry a specific item or items.

The design of the SPEAR ELCS is such to allow mission tailoring of not only the equipment to be carried but also the platform on which it is carried. This is accomplished by providing maximum modularity in both the pouch attachment method, and also the variety of available configurations of the platform components.

ELCS Basic Kits (Desert/Woodland)

The platform components allow the system to be configured in a traditional harness system, with equipment being carried on the belt, or configured in the style of load bearing vest, or in a combination of the two. The platform components feature easy adjustments at the shoulder (height), waist (girth) and chest (girth) and are a single size system.

Platform Components And Flotation Element Set

The individual pouch and accessory components are attached to the platform components utilizing’ the Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS). This system attaches items through the “inter-weaving” of webbing between the item to be attached and the platform to which it is being attached. This provides a strong, stable attachment system to ensure the attached item remains securely in place. Provision has also been made within the system to allow further customizing by providing ALICE (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) Adapter components. These items act as an interface piece allowing items with ALICE (All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) attachment or select commercial attachment systems to be securely carried on the SPEAR ELCS.

The SPEAR ELCS is issued in four methods, as follows:

  • a. SPEAR ELCS, Basic Kit
  • b. SPEAR ELCS Accessory Kit, M-203 Option
  • c. SPEAR ELCS Accessory Kit, Navy Option
  • d. By individual MCNs ordering individual components.
