CQBR yes, a bit (so 10.5), but mainly SOPMOD (14.5) which is standard issue.

As far as I know the Mk18 Mod0 and Mod1 are specific to NSW.

MARSOC uses Mod1. Mod0 def not. Also the 14.5 is mostly an FR thing rather than MSOC-MSOB

Mod1? I've not seen a single picture with one of these.

I've seen 14.5 SOPMOD with the DD M4A1 RIS II but never Mk18s.

Damn you, Vince! You really had to make me lie heh?

Looks like you're right! With a VLTOR stock too, M910 and (I think) PEQ-16. Still rarely seen then

Oh I don't question its rareness but it's out there in the MSOB armory

I want to point out that this guy is also using some SDS and LBT gear which is kinda rare

Oh and BAE RBAV anyone?



and....

Paraclete RAV (I'm not sure whether it is an SF wearing Paraclete SOF BDU or a Recon guy...)

[Brakoo]

Ouuffff, I THINK that's it, I am not even sure.

This is Brakoo as well as Mine! I am waiting for a FSBE II (FISBEE eh Conker LOL) CIRAS to complete that!

[Yannos]

Finished to assemble my 1st line!

[Conker]

I personally prefer the ERB because

1) you can keep it at the back and move it at the front/remove it easily to have access to the contents
2) in CQB, you can keep it at the front to protect your nuts if it's shooting a lot

Pretty good reasons if you ask me!

[Yannos]

Yup ERB is more Convenient IMO. Serves the same purpose but its movable and protects to nuts in CQB :P

[juicy]

Wait, I thought an IFAK and ERB are generally worn? Or does an ERB get used as an IFAK? Now I'm all confused...

As to helmets, the bare minimum is an OD MICH 2000 with a black Norotos mount, correct?

You'll see a lot of guys having a IFAK and an EBR as an IFAK, the EBR is usually supplies for other person.

For the helmets, they are usually painted by the Operator.
Force recon still use the Helmet cover if they wish.

[Conker]

Yes, as far as I know the IFAK is the individual kit (for yourself) and the ERB (or other med pouch) is for teammates.

MICH (always the 2000) are either tan or OD, both have been seen. Depending on the year, the FSBEII helmet cover (only that one, with the Norotos hole, IFF velcro and wires flap) is used.

I'm not sure on that point (maybe Vince, Brakoo or Jesus can correct me ) but Force Recon operators use either the original color (tan or OD) of their MICH or the FSBEII cover, while MARSOC guys can also paint their lids.

For the Norotos, the black one (old-ish model) is has been used since its introduction while for more recent years (2010 and up), the new tan Norotos are also good to go.
