Combat load

A combat load refers to the gear, weapons, ammunition, and supplies a soldier carries to effectively perform their duties during a mission. It is carefully balanced to ensure the soldier has enough resources to operate independently while maintaining mobility and endurance. The load includes items like firearms, magazines, protective gear, and essential tools, tailored to the specific operational environment. Proper management of a combat load is crucial for safety, effectiveness, and sustainability in combat situations, allowing soldiers to respond to threats without being weighed down or hindered.
