Army issue ACU Universal Camo Pattern 3 Day Assault Backpack has a large capacity in a small pack ideal for carrying three days of rations (MREs), ammunition, and light weather gear.

Features like the heavy-duty 1000D Cordura construction, integrated MOLLE webbing for custom expansion, and parachute-jump-rated hardware make this ACU Assault Pack a rugged, versatile choice for tactical operations.

FAQ
How many pockets are in the backpack and what size are they?
The ACU 3 Day Assault Backpack typically has 3 main pockets, the large main compartment (18″H x 14″W x 6″D), front zippered pocket (11″H x 11″W x 4″D), and a small utility pocket with Velcro closure for smaller items.
Is the internal frame sheet needed and why?
The internal plastic stiffener is a flat, rectangular sheet located in a designated pocket. While it's not essential for the backpack's functionality, it provides additional structure, improves weight distribution, and enhances comfort when carrying heavier loads. It's common for these stiffeners to be missing in surplus assault backpacks, but they are easily replaceable. Any flexible stiffener that fits the pocket will work, as long as it's not too rigid, which could compromise the backpack's comfort.
What are the attached heavy duty web straps for inside its own pocket?
The heavy-duty web straps found inside a pocket (often the sleeve for the plastic stiffener/frame sheet) on the U.S. Army Issue ACU Assault 3 Day Backpack are primarily for Airborne operations, specifically for rigging the pack to a parachute harness.
Can this pack be attached to a larger rucksack?
Yes, it is designed to integrate with the larger MOLLE II Rucksack, often attaching via buckles on the top. It can also be worn as a standalone pack.
