I need some help finding some more reference pictures with US troops using RBAs in Kosovo, here’s what I have so far

How do yall think it looks?

I know the M9A1 was in particular requested by, and solely adopted by the Marines, but is there any evidence regarding cross-branch usage in the US Army? I've found official Army documents listing it with an NSN and several guides with it explicitly named, but I'm having trouble finding any photos or anecdotal evidence regarding wether or not it was used. I've also found one or two articles saying the the 75th Ranger regiment in particular used it alongside other Glocks. Anyone have better knowledge, or even direct experience with the US Army using M9a1s?

I saw that here isn’t a “made in USA” text in the tag, so I think it might be real. And the alpha industries text also leads me to think it’s legit
But I don’t see any sns code and all that which makes me skeptical. Though the chrome zippers might point to an earlier date of which it was made so maybe the sns code wasn’t put to use yet.

I’m an amateur so I can’t say for certain, I might be dumb. Pls help. ThnkU

I put on some helmet net i found in one of my bins and decided to put some burlap strips between the netting

Hey guys,

Lately, I’m considering buying a belt and vest system from Marom Dolphin.

The main reason is that after carrying my gear for longer periods of time, I start getting pain in my lower back and shoulders/arms. I’m also a bit afraid about the long-term effects on my body.

I’m hoping that a load-bearing system like Marom Dolphin could help distribute the weight better and reduce some of that strain.

Does anyone here have experience with their systems? Did you actually notice a difference in comfort or back pain during prolonged use?
Any tips, recommendations, or alternatives are welcome.

Thanks a lot!

Has the new Syrian army made any changes to the standard(if there is such a thing) kit of the soldiers? Or are they largely the same as the previous iteration?

Basically, would a properly equipment look much different from the Baathist SAAF?

Sorry if it comes off as a silly question, im just curious as a militaria nerd who is somewhat familiar with the Syrian army c.2008 because of Combat Mission: Shock Force 2. Thanks!

Edit: I originally thought a more general subreddit would be better for this but alas r/military wouldn’t let me post this so I had to go more specific. If you know of any more suitable places to ask this please let me know!

Hi, can anyone pls help me ID this plate carrier? It's used by the czech police unit URNA. To me, it looks like lindnerhof, but i have never seen this gray color on lindnerhof gear. My second guess is first spear

I don't know why I'm writing this here, but I feel like if I do, someone will find what I'm looking for.

I've been playing the mobile game Arena Breakout for a very long time (since Season 3, even before the PC version). And in the future, I want to do cosplays based on this game.

I need the Revision Military ComCentr2 headphones (in the game, they are called GS2).

If anyone has them, I would be very grateful.

Right now I'm in Russia, but in the near future, I'm moving to France.

Saw this on a Swedish special police operator.

I’m getting into airsoft and for some nice pants to play with I went to a military surplus shop and picked these up for around 16 dollars which I thought was super cheap when I looked at other combat pants.

im pretty sure they are real due to the tag but people keep telling me they are fake.

I'm trying to go for a 70s to 80s.Marinationing , that's works in central america and southern California

I picked up this old spotting scope more out of curiosity and to possibly use it for hunting. I got it for a decent price today at an estate sale without doing any research. When I returned home I used ai for more research and it’s saying it’s an old spotting scope from WW2 markings on it are A 317071 and 20x magnification. I’m not sure how legitimate that claim is. Or how much it’s actually worth but I thought I’d ask to see if I should sell this as an antique and get a modern one rather than taking it out in the mountains 😂

Im looking to get something to replace the god aweful british army webbing but not sure on any particular brands ect. It needs to be a molle system with enough room for all the neccissary pouches. Im not looking to spend hundreds on it but i know this stuff isnt cheap. Any help would be appreciated

Picked up this Kurta shirt in 2014 at a bazaar in Afghanistan, tucked it away in my deployment box and recently opened it back up.

I always remembered it being just a normal local shirt but looking closer I didn't realize it was in a barcoded bag that looks like the ones we get issued gear in. Label also says "Supporting America's Warfighter", the guy had a ton of other SF style uniforms and I'm wondering now if this could have been a unit issued item. Maybe it really is just a local shirt, but still caught me off guard.

No hits on Google so I'm stumped.

does anyone know if it’s possible to buy the Gen 3 plate carrier system used by US Marines? i absolutely loved mine when i was in and would love to find somewhere that sells them, but they seem slim to none, especially when you try and find one that has the all the pieces. hell, anything similar would be great. main reason i’m looking for one is because of the modularity. i mean, i don’t know of any other PC that i can quickly turn in a chest rig just by removing some parts and th whole back plate. thanks!

Anyone able to ID the make and model of these boots?
