    I don't know about other services. In the Marines all of our buttpacks (that I saw) were issued with ALICE clips. We always attached them to our pistol belts. I was in the Marine Corps Infantry from 97 to 01 and we were issued the LBV, and either the woodland camo, or OD green buttpack.

    Nick u seem really informed on the ALICE gear, use and history. I'd be interested in the gear ur wanting to get rid of. Thanks

    Interesting. First thing we did was cut off the suspender buckles and Alice clips and tied the stuff on with 550 cord. Quite, won't poke you and will never fall off.

    The compass/ first aid pouch from my understanding is usually upside down but it could be personal preference

    The M17 protective mask adapter for the canteen is an A2 canteen cover.
    And the second wipes were the M258 decontamination wipes

      A2 canteen cover?

      Collector Nick
      Duh... I meant the M1 canteen cap.
      Which, of course, was used with the M17A2 protective mask with drinking tube.
      My mistake. I was a 54E back then.
      But, it was 30 years ago.
      Remember☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻,to actually get water out of your canteen utilizing the M17A2 protective mask and canteen with M1 canteen cap, always Blow into and pressurize the canteen and you’ll get water.
      Using s sucking action will only collapse the tube and you’ll get little or no water.
      That concludes this block of instruction.
      Dismissed

      Paladin Perez I just use the ALICE clips to slide on to the handel of the butt pack, however if your IFAK does not have ALICE clips then you could use the velcro on the IFAK case

      @@kilo393 Field trials are limited testing under simulated combat/field conditions to evaluate effectiveness, useability, and other factors in the design for development purposes. So they would take a few hundred or a few thousand soldiers and issue them the new stuff for a period of time, then ask for soldier input alongside other more objective criteria.
