If it is: In a situation like the one discribed in the BYB, it would make perfect sense, if the officer had his/her binoclars just hanging around his neck. And two things would allways be in reach (espacially if a person leaves his fellows/comrades, even if it was just for some minutes!): His NBC Protective Mask Carrier with mask and personal decontaminatin kit, and his rifle. Additionally I could imagine, even an officer would have his ammo for his M16A2 on his LBE. So maybe less mags for his pistol, and 6 to 9 mags for his rifle.

Maybe add gloves, leather to his equipment, in one of the trouser pockets.

Hope that helps.
Thank you for your thoughts.

What I have in my mind is a survival story. Part of it will be his origin.

BYB? Not sure of the reference.

So you think that there would be more equipment? Even if the LT. is stepping away for a moment?

Yes, I can see having the NBC. That does make sense. I had not thought of that. Rifle mags. OK, that also does make sense. I chose 6 clips for the 1911. The people who have 9mm have 45 rounds. I wanted him to have about the same amount, 42 rounds of .45 APC.

I will look at my ideas and the V1 and v2.2 rule book again, to see what else he might have. In the story I have in mind, the LT is separated from most of his gear. No backpack, no sleeping bag, no cooking gear, no shelter half, no poncho, no thermal gear, etc. Kind of a Robinson Crusoe in T2K.

As always, all comments are welcome.
