TR-
I remeber those days - a large ALICE w/ the M5 under the flap - then we went to the 'tactical duffel bag' (lowe expedition) - and had to put the m5 under the flap. Our Team SOP was - each man carries 2 IVs, and a basic med kit to replenish a 'single use' out of the M5 - and everybody (including the 18Ds) carried commo, demo, ammo loads - nobody got off light, and the XO got the "comfy chair". Cross loading is an art - and it's a whole team responsibility IMHO.
