For mounted patrols, and short distance foot patrols:
MTV (which sucks), M4 w/M203, M9, KA-BAR, eight M-4 mags, 3 M9 mags, (not including the two mags in the weapon), I-FAK, dump pouch, note-taking gear in my cargo pocket, and PRC-148 radio. All of this on my flak since that trendy leg flair is stupid.
For longer dismounted patrols I have a small patrol pack with water, three or four smoke grenades, DAGR, three or four pop-ups, NVGs, PLB, extra batteries for NVGs, DAGR, and PRC-148, and another I-FAK.
I've changed this setup a lot since I've been in country, but this has lasted for about two months. Works in an advisory setting. I'm supposed to have the NVGs and PLB on my body at all times as per Echelons Above Reality SOP, but whatever.
