Weapons, Vehicles, Aircraft and Gear

For Marines on the battlefield, flexibility is a requirement, and the same is true for the equipment they carry. With the ability to be mounted on a helmet, attached to a rifle, or used as a handheld scope, the AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device meets this requirement. Its single-eye design provides Marines with superior depth perception and night-eye adaptation, and its durable construction, extended battery life, and lightweight design ensure it can always be counted on wherever Marines go.

FEATURES:

• 3rd generation intensifier technology
• Can be outfitted with a 3X magnification adapter
• Functions in all climates, from -49 to 123 degrees Fahrenheit

The weapons Marines carry are of no use without the ammunition that makes them effective. An integral component of every Marine’s gear is the lightweight system of equipment pouches that provides for convenient storage and easy access to ammunition or gear.

INCLUDES:

• M16/M4 Speed Reload Magazine Pouch – Holds the "first choice" magazine
• M16/M4 Single/Double Magazine Pouch – Holds two magazines
• 9mm 15 Round Magazine Pouch – Holds one 9mm magazine
• 40mm Grenade Pouch – Holds one 40mm grenade
• Pop-up Flare Pouch – Holds one pop-up flare
• M67 Grenade Pouch – Holds one M67 grenade
• 12-Gauge Shotgun Shell Pouch – Holds ten, 3-inch 12-gauge shotgun shells
• Multi-grenade Pouch – Will hold one smoke grenade, thermite grenade, star cluster grenade, or two flash-bang grenades
• Dump Pouch – Holds empty magazines
• Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) Utility Pouch – A multi-purpose/bulk carrying pouch that can fit the 200-round SAW drum

Warfighting is more than combat engagement alone. Part of being an elite warrior is taking care of those you fight alongside. The IFAK ensures that in the midst of battle, Marines have the equipment to provide point-of-injury care for their fellow warriors.

Designed to provide small, lightweight tactical communications to infantry squads and fireteams, the PRC-153 Integrated Intra-Squad Radio acts as a wireless intercom system between Marines. The PRC-153 possesses enough power to provide Marines with effective communications in open terrain, heavily forested areas, and urban environments.

Though every Marine is able to provide accurate fire with traditional iron sights, each is provided with the most advanced rifle optics available during combat. These laser targeting and illumination systems can be mounted to Marine M16s, M4s, M240Bs, and M249s. They provide two different capabilities: When used with the naked eye, the visible laser can assist with aiming, and the floodlight on the PEQ-16A can assist in identifying targets in low-light situations.

However, using these visible-light capabilities also mean that the enemy can see the source of the light—the Marine. When a Marine pairs the system with a night-vision device such as the AN/PVS-14 monocular, they can switch to using the infrared targeting laser or the infrared illumination.

With the ability to illuminate targets in low light and identify targets with advanced laser aiming technology, the AN/PEQ-15 and AN/PEQ-16A increase the capabilities of every Marine rifleman.

Before they even become Marines, recruits must prove their aim is true with a rifle from 200, 300, and 500 yards downrange. The RCO, originally known as the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG), was adapted for the M16A4 and the M4 and entered Marine Corps nomenclature as the RCO.

With the AN/PVQ-3 RCO attached, Marines prove even more accurate at even longer distances. The RCO is a fixed 4X optimal aiming scope that provides enhanced target identification and hit probability for the M4 Carbine and M16A4 service rifle out to 800 meters.

Battery-free, dual illumination features enable Marines (in daylight, lowlight, or no light) to keep both eyes open while engaging targets and maintaining maximum situational awareness.
