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
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
The US Marine Corps has been a key part of the US presence in a host of combat zones. While sharing some weapons systems with the other US Forces, the Marine Corps has developed its own distinctive approach to matters of dress, personal equipment and armament. The most important trends are a new generation of camouflage clothing, body armor, and night-vision equipment, which have transformed the appearance and capability of the individual rifleman. The men and women of the USMC have been at the forefront of these developments, utilizing innovative items of dress and equipment during their extensive service in a range of challenging environments across the world. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork and detailed photographs, this book explores the USMC's key contribution to the development of the combat infantry soldier's clothing and personal equipment in the 21st century.

Book Description
In the age of modern warfare the changing landscape of the 21st century battlefield has demanded a transformation within the US Marine Corps Special Operations. Adapting to a huge range of combat environments, an enormous array of specialist uniforms, protective armour and battlefield electronic devices have been developed to facilitate missions in the most extreme conditions. A special forces operator may now have available to him a dozen distinct types of body armour and two dozen different weapons; never before in American military history has so much been given to so few. Authored by J. Kenneth Eward, professor at the American Military University, and illustrated throughout with photographs and meticulous colour plates, this volume offers the first detailed, authoritative study of the characteristics, and performance in the field, of the most modern combat gear and weapons provided for USMC specialist operators to date.
