ALICE ( A ll-Goal L heavyweight I individual C appear < b> E quipment) load bearing system, was adopted as the United States Army Standard A on January 17, 1973 to replace the M-1956 Load-Bringing Equipment (LCE) and M-1967 Equipment Load-carrying Modernization (MLCE). Although since being replaced by MOLLE, ALICE equipment is still in limited use in the US Army in the National Guard and training units, as well as by the Navy and Air Force ground units. The US Marine Corps currently uses ALICE equipment only in training.

History and development
The Lightweight All-Purpose Carrying Individual Equipment is the end result of the LINCLOE (Light Apparel And Individual Equipment) program that began in 1965 and ended with the implementation of the ALICE system on 17 January 1973. The purpose of the individual equipment parts of the LINCLOE Program is to develop load-carrying systems light in an effort to lighten the overall burden of combat soldiers.
1965-1967
Based primarily on the conclusions and recommendations of A Study To Reduce Burden Of The Infantry Combat Army, 1962 and A Study To Save Energy Of The Combat Infantryman, 1964 , the army established the Quantitative Material Requirements (QMR) in 1965 called for the development of LINCLOE.
Although the development of LINCLOE load carrier equipment was not officially started until after the US Army Command Technical Committee (AMCTC) approved the project on April 27, 1966, the development of light load carrying equipment actually began in 1961 with the development of Lightweight Rucksack (FSN 8465- 782-3248) made of nylon fabric and an aluminum frame weighing 3 pounds (1.4 kg) compared to  £ 7.5 (3.4 kg) of canvas duck cotton and replaceable steel articles.
The development of this lightweight backpack leads to informal inquiries by officers from the infantry community about the possibility of reducing the weight of M-1956 Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE). As a result of this interest, the army produced a set of LCEs in 1962, replacing the nylon material available for cotton canvas ducks. Equipment device carrying this nylon load is slightly heavier than 3 pounds (1.4 kg) compared to 5 pounds (2.3 kg) for duck canvas cotton items. These two items, the lightweight backpack and the LCE nylon set, form the basis for part of the LINCLOE Quantitative Material Requirements that relates to load-bearing equipment. Appendix A to Quantitative Quantity Materials set a goal of 3.3 pounds (1.5 kg) for the equipment carrying individual loads and 3 pounds (1.4 kg) for the backpack. Officials decided that the design of the new loading equipment would follow the standard load carrier equipment with material changes from cotton canvas ducks to nylon ducks and replacement of brass and steel hardware with aluminum or plastic items.
The design effort went slow, due to the concentration on the design and development of goods to meet the requirements of the Vietnam War, although the developers started the project investigating the feasibility of replacing a lot of steel and brass hardware with aluminum or plastic items. On March 15, 1967, an Engineering Concept Review was held at Natick Laboratories. The approved concepts at the meeting are for individual equipment belts that will be supported by individual equipment suspenders, which can be attached to component items such as small arms ammunition cases, water canteen closers, carriers of influence, first aid kit, etc. A slightly larger field package of packets of proposed canvas M-1961 cotton ducks that can be attached to carry either on the belt of individual equipment on the small back, or on the shoulders attached to the suspender belt of individual equipment, or attached. to a removable package parcel frame. The frame of the field package with shoulder straps and removable cargo rack will be designed to be worn over the belt and suspender of individual equipment. The final result of this meeting is the application of M-1967 Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment (MLCE). The field package design was rejected in the end and the nylon version of the M-1961 field package was produced in conjunction with the Tropical Rucksack nylon (FSN 8465-935-6673).
1968-1969
Even after the adoption of MLCE in 1967, progress continued under the LINCLOE program. MLCE is envisioned to be used strictly in tropical environments and the development of standard load carrier systems to replace all load carrying equipment systems is continued.
During 1968, the LINCLOE program continued to improve light load carrying systems. A prototype system is designed using several existing MLCE components such as water canteen cover, small arms ammunition case, and first aid kit. The individual tool belt buckles are replaced with plastic versions of Davis fast-release buckles and new Vests, Combat developed to replace individual instrument suspender belts. The team developed both a small and large field package using a removable parcel frame package concept that was deleted in 1967.
These prototype items were presented at the Design Characteristic Review and Prototype System Review held at Natick Laboratories March 26, 1968. It was recommended that the Engineering/Service Test [ET/ST] be conducted on the design of this new load-carrying system with the understanding that any design changes should be completed before testing and without other design reviews.
In July 1969, the test items presented at the Natick meeting of 1968 and produced by the United States Army Support Center in Richmond, Virginia, under the supervision of Natick Laboratories personnel, were sent to the United States Army Infantry Council [USAIB], Fort Benning, Georgia; United States Army Tropical Test Center (USATTC), Fort Clayton, Panama Canal Zone; United States Army Arctic Test Center (USAATC), Fort Greely, Alaska; and General Equipment Testing Activities (GETA), Fort Lee, Virginia. Some test items differ significantly from those presented at the 1968 meeting. The main changes are as follows:
- Belt, Individual Equipment - The individual equipment belt is changed by removing the middle row of the fish's eye and replacing the adjustment of a single ending hook at each end with a double-hook adjustment involving the two rows outside the rope hole for size adjustment.
- Vests, Combat - Closure devices use snap and loop fasteners on Vest, Combat fails during initial test and is replaced by fast-release plastic fasteners.
- Carrier, Entrenching Tool - The carriers of the M-1967 nylon carrier are replaced by those formed from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).
- Case, Field First Aid Dressing - First-aid boxes used in the field are used plastic guard ropes that replace standard M-1956 steel-strap guards.
- Cover, Water Cafeteria - Water canteen cover using a plastic belt strap that replaces the standard M-1956 steel-strap protector.
The testing of this new load-carrying system, known as the LINCLOE Load Carrier (LCE), began in July 1969 at Fort Benning; September 1969 at Fort Clayton; October 1969 at Fort Greely; and November 1969 at Fort Lee.
On July 19, 1969, the Infantry Team (consisting of Commander General, Fort Benning, Commander-General of Infantry Schools, Command Officer of Combatant Command and Command Officer Commander) met at Fort Benning to discuss an increase in infantry items of individual clothing and equipment. They invited LINCLOE LCE Project Officer from Natick Laboratories to attend this meeting and present the status of loading equipment items. Supreme Commander at Fort Benning did not know of the ongoing effort to improve load-loading equipment and other items of individual clothing and equipment. As a result of the presence of the LINCLOE LCE Project Officer at the meeting, the group established a Non-Commissioner Officers Board (NCO) to suggest improvements to load carrying equipment.
The NCO Council reviewed the LINCLOE LCE tested as well as the MLCE awarded to troops in Vietnam and arrived at the characteristics they deemed desirable. As the LINCLOE LCE test continues, a number of failures start to occur in the closing device; plastic snap fasteners are still used as they were originally used on MLCE items. In December 1969, all tests were discontinued for re-evaluation of the components of the new load carrier system.
1970-1971
In January 1970, the Infantry Board completed an evaluation of loading equipment, and on March 17, 1970, they held a conference at Fort Benning to review the evaluation results. They discuss each item being evaluated, and agree to acceptable changes for each load-loading equipment item. They also agree that first generation LINCLOE LCE tests should be discontinued and new items designed to reflect the characteristics developed as a result of evaluation by the NCO Council and the Infantry Team.
In a letter to the US Army Command dated April 15, 1970, the US Army's Combat Command Command described the next generation of LINCLOE LCE for service testing under the March 17 meeting of 1970. The following items are recommended when modified as shown:
- Belt, Individual Equipment - Design equipped for evaluation with two (one up and one lower) fast-release buttons and aluminum buckles. Also with a new clinch-buckle size adjustment system.
- Suspenders, Individual Equipment Belts - Design M-1967 but with a single supporting/binding rope on the back. Vest, Combat removed from the program because it is too complicated and vulnerable to failure.
- Carrier, Entrenching - molds the EVA version but uses metal snap closure (not plastic).
- Case, Field First Aid Dressing - A larger version of the M-1967 design capable of holding two first aid dressing fields. Also with metal snap closure (not plastic).
- Case, Small Arms Ammunition - M-1967 The design of a 30-round bullet magazine but with a support rope is replaced with a hole (to be attached to the individual instrument suspender belt). Also an internal border cover to keep the cartridge magazines separate and different hand grenade handling methods to the sides.
- Cover, Water Cafeteria - Design M-1967 but using metal snap cover (not plastic). Also without layers and pile openings at the bottom to allow drainage.
Also proposed in the letter is a repair version of small and large field packages and frame packets field.
During April and June 1970, the team developed a prototype system of load carrying equipment as described in an April 15, 1970 letter. They presented this set of load carrying equipment to the NCO Council and the Infantry Team for review at Fort Benning on June 18-19, 1970. July 1970, representatives of the US Army Combat Forces Command and LINCLOE LCE Project Officers met at Natick Laboratories and drafted revisions to LINCLOE LCE Quantitative Material Requirements as they relate to load carrying equipment including the characteristics for each item. This is primarily based on the results of the 17 March 1970 meeting with one major exception. The LINCLOE LCE Project Officer packages the third field to the system. This is a medium-sized package with bags made of rucksack tropical nylon, modified to meet NCO Board requirements for small field packages by adapting them to be worn behind with or without frame packets.
On October 5, 1970, the Review of Design Characteristics and the Prototype System Review was held at Natick Laboratories on the new LINCLOE LCE. The group approves Quantitative Material Requirements for a new generation LINCLOE LCE with minor changes.
Natick Laboratories made fifteen sets of second-generation LINCLOE LCEs and sent them to the European Army Headquarters (USAREUR) Nov. 17, 1970 for evaluation. In December 1970, the United States Army Support Center, Virginia made an additional 300 sets of second-generation LINCLOE LCE and delivered it to Natick Laboratories for assembly and shipment to the test site.
In August 1971, the test set was sent to Fort Benning, Fort Greely, Fort Devens, and, as requested, to the Marine Corps at Quantico. Pre-test inspections found a number of deficiencies with field packages being returned to Natick Laboratories for modification. Items were modified back to the test site in November 1971 and the service tests began.
1972-1973
In March 1972, so many flaws and deficiencies had developed in load-bearing equipment, so the US Army Test and Evaluation Command requested that tests at Fort Benning be suspended until the test items could be repaired or replaced. Officials held a meeting at Fort Benning on 6 April 1972 to discuss the failure. In their discussion, they agreed that Natick Laboratories would take action to fix the problem so that the test could continue June 9, 1972.
Most deficiencies are found in field packages, the user requests that the inner cover in the case of small arms ammunition be removed because they inhibit rapid disappearance of cartridge magazines. The developer replaces this with a simple strip of nylon fabric to split the cartridge magazine. At some point during 1971 the Marine Corps found that a small arms ammunition case with the divider flap was accepted and initiated the admissions procedure. On January 31, 1972, the army issued a military specification MIL-C-28981 (MC) and the case of small arms ammunition was classified and numbered Federal Stock 8465-464-2084. Defense Support Agency (DSA) issued a contract for the item for fiscal year 1973.
Natick Laboratories completed the modification of test items and military aircraft transported to Fort Benning on 1 June 1972, but testing was not continued until 3 July 1972. The tests were completed August 18, 1972 and the final report was received on November 24, 1972. As a result of the tests, the Infantry Board recommended that none further development efforts are expended on load-carrying equipment as a system. On October 31, 1972, representatives from Natick Laboratories visited Fort Benning to discuss issues that emerged during the testing of each item and to arrive at a decision whether to continue the development of each item. Prior to this last meeting, the LINCLOE LCE component has been classified and given the following Federal Stock number:
- Belt, Individual Equipment - 8465-001-6487 (large), 8465-001-6488 (medium)
- Carrier, Foundry - 8465-001-6474
- Case, Field First Aid Dressing - 8465-001-6473
- Case, Small Arms Ammo - 8465-001-6482
- Cover, Water Cafeteria - 8465-001-6472
- Suspension, Individual Equipment Belt - 8465-001-6471
Three field packages are also categorized and federated as Federal Stock:
- Field Packages - 8465-001-6479 - small
- Field Packages - 8465-001-6480 - medium
- Field Packages - 8465-001-6481 - large
After the last meeting, the group proposed the following changes before producing:
- Belt, Individual Equipment - Adopted; but with a standard buckle. The test item has been fitted with a two-piece Davis aluminum buckle which provides fast discharge capability.
- Suspension, Individual Equipment Belts - Adopt a set of suspender tool belts that are similar in design to the tested ones, but modified to improve adjustment by four inches.
- Carrier, Preparing Tool - Adopted
- Case, Field First Aid Dressing - The panel rejects the test items and retains the M-1967 version. The characteristics adopted require that this item is sufficient to carry two first aid bandages. The Panel determined that the M-1967 version, which accommodates one first field aid aid, is acceptable.
- Cases, Small Arms Ammunition - This group adopts a small arms ammunition case tested without an internal divider flap.
- Cover, Water Cafeteria - The group rejects the test item and retains the modified M-1967 nylon water canteen cover by tightening the cover so they will not collapse and interrupt the insertion of the water canteen; to enlarge the water canteen cover to facilitate the insertion and extraction of the water canteen; to add the reinforcing tape to the inside of the water canteen cover to help prevent drinking water canteen cups lips; and add the grommet drain at the bottom. As requested by the NCO Board, the test cover is made without a stacked liner, whose purpose is to provide evaporative cooling, and with openings at the bottom to provide better drainage and to make the water cafeteria extraction easier. However, tests show that the pile liner adds a shape to the water canteen cover and keeps it from completely empty when empty, making insertion of water canteen cups much easier. The test also determines that the openings at the bottom represent a danger of camouflage when the metal from the bottom of the water canteen is exposed.
The group received medium and large field packages with minor modifications but refused the small field package as unnecessary. The re-examination of moderate and large modified field packages was conducted at Fort Benning during 27 November to 18 December 1972. Tests indicate that the shortcomings and shortcomings of previously reported field packages have been improved.
The formal Development Review (DEVA) review at LINCLOE LCE took place at Natick Laboratories January 17, 1973. Panel members agreed, by consensus, that the components were categorized as Standard A. Upon receipt, individual equipment systems were designated M -1972 Lightweight Equipment (LLCE). The Defense Support Agency (DSA) began issuing contracts for a new individual equipment system component for the 1974 fiscal year, which began July 1, 1973. After the DSA issued an initial contract, the individual equipment system reassembled All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE) and use of the official year modeling stops.
Current
The ALICE system has been removed from all Active Components and Reserves units (USAR and Army) in the Army. Basic and Advanced Individual Training Unit, to include OCS, ROTC, and USMA, using the current MOLLE equipment in Digital Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). ALICE is replaced by Generation I MOLLE equipment. MOLLE I was later replaced by MOLLE II which, unlike MOLLE I, is strictly for Army Combat Uniform (ACU), not from Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) and Desert Camouflage Uniform (DCU).
The Navy and USAF use ALICE equipment for ground personnel as well, although USAF is ending ALICE for MOLLE.
The Marine Corps is still issuing ALICE media packages for several radio operators. Both that and large variants can still be found with the NROTC unit (which trains the Marine officers alongside the Navy officers). Active-duty training units (Recruitment Training, Infantry School, Candidate School, Elementary School) and removable units have shifted to a slightly older (or slightly older) New Equipment Development Package (USMC Package) ILBE) system.
Small maneuvering elements that rely on lightweight package design and durability still use ALICE packages today.
The Iranian Army and Law Enforcement still use ALICE, MLC and LCE equipment, but they switch to MOLLE equipment (especially IRGC and Army special forces) as it becomes more modular and to IIFS because it is lighter.

Brawl and presence burden
The ALICE system retained the concept of an enhanced battle load and independent existence in the mid-1950s during LCE development. The most important point in the concept of fight and existence is that an infantry soldier must carry only the items necessary to complete the mission immediately in hand. The burden that a rifleman infantry should carry does not include other items that can be carried by other means. Since the type of mission, terrain conditions, and environment will affect the clothing and equipment needs of the individual, unit commanders can prescribe infantry weapons to important items. The main purpose of the concept of fighting and the existence of burden is to ease the burden of infantry forces.
The typical individual combat load consists of basic items of clothing, individual equipment, small arms, and small arms ammunition brought by, and is essential to, the effectiveness of combat armed forces and the achievement of direct missions from the unit when the rifleman infantry goes on foot. Usually these items are carried on individual equipment belts and individual equipment suspender belts.
The typical individual's existence load consists of items other than those in the individual fighting charge necessary to maintain or protect the infantry police, which may be required for increased personal and environmental protection by infantry soldiers, and which would not normally be done by infantry soldiers armed.. Where possible, the goods of individual existence are transported by means other than man-carry. Otherwise, the burden of fighting and existence is carried by infantry soldiers. Individual content items of charge are usually carried out in field packages.
Fighting the load component
The battle system load ALICE consists of the following components:
- Belt, Individual Equipment, LC-1 (NSN 8465-00-001-6487-series)
- Carrier, Entrenching, LC-1 (NSN 8465-00-001-6474)

- Cover, Water Cafeteria, LC-1 (NSN 8465-00-860-0256)
- Suspension, Individual Equipment Belt, LC-1 (NSN 8465-00-001-6471)
Belt, Individual Equipment - The individual equipment belt is made of woven nylon silk woven Army Shade 7 with a black chemical finish that adjusts buckles, guards, and belt buckles. Medium-size equipment belts (NSN 8465-00-001-6488) are for soldiers with waist sizes below 30 inches (76 cm) and large sizes (NSN 8465-00-001-6487) are for those with waist-length 30 inches. (76 cm) or more. The individual equipment belts are adjusted from each end using a clamp type clasp that glide on the belt of the individual equipment when open. Individual equipment items are attached by interlocking rope-belt guards or connected through a rope loop along the bottom of the individual equipment belt. The fish eye along the top of the individual equipment belt is to attach the individual instrument suspender belt.
In 1981 New Belt, Individual Equipment, LC-2 was introduced with green quick-release plastic buckle and was given National Exchange Number 8465-01-120-0674 (medium) and 8465-01-120-0675 (large).
Carrier, Entrenching Tool - The reflective transporter carrier is shaped from EVA and the top lid is secured by two metal snap fasteners. It attaches to the individual equipment belt by using two rope-belt guards with slides each other. The beautified equipment carrier is designed to accommodate the Foldable, Hand Entrenching Device (NSN 5120-00-878-5932).
Case, Field First Aid Dressing - The first aid kit for field assistance was made from a green teardrop Army Shade 106 which treated 7.25 ounces (206Ã, g) nylon duck. The length is 8 Ã, 1 / 2 inch (22 cm) with the flap open; less than 4 1 / 2 inch (11 cm) wide, and forming a 4 inch (10 cm) pocket in. It has a snap-type metal fastener closure and is attached to individual equipment belts or individual equipment suspender belts by a rope-belt guard with interlocking slides. The first aid box is designed to accommodate Dressing, First Aid, Field (NSN 6510-00-159-4883) or Compass, Magnetic, Unmounted (NSN 6605-00-151-5337).
Cases, Small Arms Ammunition - Small arms ammunition cases are designed to accommodate three 30-round Magazines, Cartridges (NSN 1005-00-921-5004) used with Rifle, 5.56 Millimeters, M16A1. It is made of nylon duck and wicker with polyester sheets in front, rear and back cover of small arms ammunition case. Each cartridge magazine is held in place using a 4-inch spacer spacer that crosses the top of the gun ammunition case small. The lid is covered by a plastic latch. Grenades carry bags located on each side of a small arms ammunition case secured by nylon mesh straps and metal snap fastener. A tab with a metal hole is located at the top of the back of a small arms ammunition case where each suspender belt tool is attached. A small arms ammunition case is attached to the individual equipment belt by a rope-belt guard with interlocking slides.
Cover, Water Cafeteria - Water canteen cover made of nylon and wicker fabric and acrylic pile liner material. Two-fold enclosure is secured by metal snap fasteners. There is a small pocket on the front cover to bring water purification tablets. The small pocket lid is secured with hook and pile fastener tape. The cover attaches to the belt of individual equipment by using two rope-belt guards with mutual slides. The water canteen cover is designed to accommodate Cafeteria, Water (NSN 8465-00-889-3477). In 1975, the designation of LC-1 for water canteen closers was changed to LC-2 due to some minor design changes. The National Stock Number remains the same.
Suspenders, Individual Equipment Belts - Suspenders of Y-shaped individual tool belts with three customized ropes, but four attachment points on individual equipment belts and small arms ammunition cases. Shoulder strap overlaid with a spacer cloth. Each shoulder strap has a web loop and a non-slip buckle on each rope in front and one behind the rope pass. There is a rectangular wire loop located between the web loop and the buckle on the front of the rope. The 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide adjusting strap has a side barrier snap hook on one end. The rear adjusting straps have an inverted V which each end has a side retaining snapper. Each rope has a circle around it made of 1 inch (2.5 cm) elastic material. In 1991, the belt suspender redesigned individual LC-2 equipment without any obvious modifications.
Component load component
ALICE system existence load consists of the following components:
- Cover, Field Package (NSN 8465-00-001-6478) white

Field Package (medium) - The field package is made of waterproof dust treated nylon ducks and webbing, spacer fabrics, and metal hardware. Can be used with or without the LC-1 Field Pack Frame. The main compartment is closed by using a sharp string secured by a plastic cable clamp. The radio pocket is located on the backside of the inside. The size of the wrapper can be reduced for smaller loads by using three rope joints, sewn into the inside of the pack, and three metal D-rings located just below the internal radio pocket. Three bags outside, with adjustable rope and adjustable buckles and fast fast buttons for quick access, are provided for other items. The top lid has a pocket with a hook and tape closing the sealing tape. The equipment hanger is located on top of each outer pocket and on each side. Fish eye drainage is provided at the bottom of the main compartment and outside pouch. The envelope pocket is located at the top, rear of the pack and overlaid with a spacer fabric, where the package frame of the field is inserted when the packet field is used on the packet frame field. The buckle and the rope on each side near the bottom are used to retain the parcel packet to the packet frame field. Two rectangular wire loops located at the top of the rear of the field pack and D rings on each side at the bottom of the field pack are used to provide attachment of shoulder straps when the packet field is done without a frame packet field. A waterproof bag is provided for the main compartment and each of the three outer pockets to keep equipment dry.
Field Packages (large) - Construction and materials in large field packages similar to media parcel packages with the difference: much larger size; the middle outer pouch is larger than the other two main outer pockets; and additional three small pockets outside on top of a larger bag. Large field packages MUST be used with the LC-1 Field Pack Frame.
Frame, Field Pack - The packet frame fields are used as mounts for medium packets or large field packages. The frame, when requested, comes with all the ropes. The framework is an aluminum construction.
Shelf, Cargo Support - Cargo support shelves are used to support large loads such as water, gasoline, and cans of ammunition, rations, and radio. The rack is made of aluminum construction.
In 1977 the following load-bearing equipment items were introduced as a substitute after modification due to a defect in the original equipment design:
- Package Field, LC-2 medium (NSN 8465-01-019-9102) with new buckle and no liner
- Large Field Packages, LC-2 (NSN 8465-01-019-9103) with new buckle and no liners
