What goes in an assault pack?

Your assault pack is there to carry ammo, tools, night vision, batteries , signalling kit and other items that will sustain your lethality in combat. Additionally they will contain a bare minimum of sustainment.

A good assault pack should feature attachment points. Those attachment points dont have to be comprised of an abundanche of PALS webbing as you need ways to carry odd shaped items like helmets, breaching tools, rain gear and ammo boxes for quick acess. Bungees like the Gearaid Gruntline featured in the image above are an handy asset to do so. Make sure your attachment points are well thought out and robust. Many items have to be stored to the outside of your pack. Aside from this you should have a big compartment instead of several micro compartments for administration. Pack your kit from bottom to top, starting with sustainment items while putting combat related, quick access kit to the top or the outside.
