USMC Backpack Special, Used
No better way to be prepared then have the backpack you need for any mission. The USMC issue backpack combination gives you both the USMC FILBE MOLLE II Assault Pack and the full-size USMC FILBE Rucksack. The Assault backpack was designed to be carried on shorter missions by the United States Marine Corps and can also be attached as a piggyback to the larger FILBE main rucksack for the longer missions. The Main backpack (Family of Improved Load Bearing Equipment) was designed to be the standard issue upgrade for a Marines load carry system and able to be used in conjunction with body armor holding all the gear needed for deployment.
