Book Description
The U.S. Army conducted a comprehensive front-end analysis (FEA) which surveyed key users and identified critical issues and requirements for developing new load bearing equipment (LBE). From the FEA a detailed users' operational requirements document (ORD) was developed and from both the FEA and ORD the MOLLE emerged. The results of these efforts reveal several things about the methods used, as well as, issues and features of the system developed. This paper discusses the lessons learned about test methodology and features of LBEs found to work or not work for the dismounted combatant.

Book Description
In March 1994, the Training and Doctrine Command System Manager for the Soldier, the Program Manager Soldier, and the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command issued a joint call for a front end analysis (FEA) to determine the best design for a load-bearing system for soldiers and marines. The FEA was used in drafting a new user requirements document and initiating the development of a modular load-carrying system which ultimately became known as the Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE). This report presents a summary of the FEA survey and the results from a series of human factors evaluation tests conducted during early MOLLE development. Test methodology and results are presented along with evaluation of the design features of load-bearing equipment important to infantrymen and their missions. This is followed by a discussion of lessons learned in the development of the system.

Book Description
This book reports on cutting-edge research into innovative system interfaces, highlighting both lifecycle development and human–technology interaction, especially in virtual, augmented and mixed-reality systems. It describes advanced methodologies and tools for evaluating and improving interface usability and discusses new models, as well as case studies and good practices. The book addresses the human, hardware, and software factors in the process of developing interfaces for optimizing total system performance, while minimizing their costs. It also highlights the forces currently shaping the nature of computing and systems, such as: the importance of portability and technologies for reducing power requirements; the necessity of a better assimilation of computation in the environment; as well as solutions to promote accessibility to computers and systems for people with special needs. The book, which is based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Human Factors and Systems Interaction, held on July 24-28, 2019, in Washington D.C., USA, offers a timely survey and practice-oriented guide for systems interface users and developers alike.

Book Description
The slosh of water in a canteen, the rustle of a uniform, the jangle of extra clips of ammo, all the clinks and clanks of jostling packs of equipment—this is the soundtrack that accompanies fully loaded soldiers humping through the bush to their next assignment. Battle rattle is the stuff a soldier carries to get through the day, from mission-specific gear to general supplies. In short, what the soldiers on the ground affectionately call “our crap.” This book takes a close look at the commercial revolution in military clothing, packs, and equipment—soldiers buying from civilian companies instead of settling for government issue, customizing their gear to perfectly fit their needs and preferences. From boots and gloves to helmets and eyewear, from ponchos and packs to knives and rifles, Battle Rattle shows what the modern warfighter is using to fight the fight.
