The ILBE (''Improved Load Bearing Equipment'') is a United States Marine Corps program that had included individual load carriage equipment, individual hydration systems (Source One Hydration) and individual water purification. Since the rucksack was the first component of the program to be issued to Marines, the rucksack is commonly referred to as simply the ''ILBE''. The ''ILBE'' rucksack was designed to replace the long existing All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (''ALICE'') and newer Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (''MOLLE'') packs. ==Design== The ''ILBE'' was designed during the Law Enforcement and Armed Forces (''LEAF'') program by Arc'teryx, and later manufactured by Propper Inc.. The backpack is made from 725 Denier Cordura material (''725 D''), with the MARPAT camouflage pattern printed onto it. The pack is also covered with a wide grid of the Pouch Attachment Ladder System (''PALS''), for the attachment of smaller modular pouches. It includes a main pack, a detachable assault pack and a 100 ounce (3 litre) water reservoir as part of the hydration system. The ''ILBE'' can hold up to 120 pounds of weight, and has room for both 60mm and 81mm mortar rounds outside the main pack. Specialized bags and pouches for corpsmen and reconnaissance units are also available.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Advanced Planning Brief for Industry )〕〔Gordon Rottman ''The M16'' 2011 Page 71 "The Marines used MOLLE until fielding the Improved Load Bearing Equipment (ILBE) in 2005 with three two-magazine pouches and a.."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Improved Load Bearing Equipment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
