As an M60 gunner it wasn't uncommon for me (a tiny 65kgs/143lbs at the time) to carry around 40-45kgs/90-100lbs of gear. Most of that was combat load - my pack was usually fairly light.
And then one exercise they gave me the 77 set as well... (another dozen kgs)
All that and 40+ degree C heat to deal with too!
