Overview
The Marine Corps Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment (MOLLE) is a replacement for the All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE) and Integrated Individual Fighting System (IIFS).
Description
The MOLLE consists of a modular rucksack with removable compartments and components, and a fighting load vest that can accept removable pockets for the Rifleman, Pistol, Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) Gunner, Corpsman, Shotgun, and Grenadier configurations. The modularity allows individuals to tailor the load to meet mission needs. One waist belt serves both the vest and backpack, and allows quick-release of the backpack from the waist belt The MOLLE will be made of woodland camouflage, water repellant coated fabric.
