U.S. Issue Woodland Medium ALICE Pack
Genuine U.S. Issue Packs are part of the U.S. Military's system of all-purpose, lightweight individual carrying equipment that has been in use since the 1960's. Medium size pack is designed to hold loads up to 50 lbs. Measurements: approx. 20' x 14' x 6 ½' main compartment; 12'x 12' interior pouch; three tunneled 6' x 10' x 3' exterior pockets. There is also a Velcro closed map pocket in rain flap. The fabric is water-repellent. Medium pack can be carried on or off the frame.
The All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment, or ALICE system, was adopted as United States Army Standard A on 17 January 1973 to replace the M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment [LCE] and M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment [MLCE]. ALICE gear is still in some limited use in the US Army in National guard and training units. While the USMC currently uses ALICE gear in training only, it is still in use by Navy and Air Force ground units. Most military forces are now using the M.O.L.L.E. Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. Add a New ALICE Frame and keep it authentic with a U.S. Issue Shoulder and Kidney pad

Condition Guide
Surplus is real military gear and the exact conditions may vary. We grade used military surplus to give you options and offer a more clear description. Military gear was built well and used by soldiers proving its tested quality. We hope you find that it serves you well.
Grade 1 Like New: Out of the factory case or may have only minor signs of use or storage marks.
Grade 2 Used : What we call normal surplus. The gear is fully usable and shows normal signs of use and has a lot of life left. Some items may have stains, writing, color fading, repairs, and or surface rust on them. We found that up to a small 1/4” hole or fray does not repair well and do not affect the gears performance. Since surplus ALICE packs are now vintage some may have a interior hood pocket that is ripped and is not repairable unless replaced.
Grade 3: ALICE packs in this condition can still be used but had a rougher life. They show heavier stains, may still have a tear, broken snap or something needing repair. This is great for, extra gear or as a budget item.
