It really depends on the amount of use/abuse that the gear goes through.
Combat Boots are considered to be good for at least 6 months-1 year.
BDUs/ACUs are considered to be servicable for 18-months.
ALICE Gear was considered to be serviceable for up to 5-years.
ITLBV/MOLLE was considered to be servicable for up to 3-years.
Now these are the anticaptated replacement dates for the equipment, it does not include in any way shape or form any hint of reality.
