And that is the type of kit I am looking to work on. The only thing is, a lot of it is in Japanese. I would love to have all that info in English.
Also I didn't see anything on armor.

Armour is indeed the PASGT. The kit list Yuxi showed is also accurate although the manual only shows the use of one canteen pouch. Keep in mind of course that what's shown in the manual won't always be exactly what is used, but it definitely will show you the 'standard' way of wearing it.
If you're really interested, your best bet is to actually buy the manual. I paid 7.99 for mine. What you're looking for is this:
FM 21-15: Care and Use of Individual Clothing and Equipment
Mine is issued in 85, which, by the looks of it, was pretty much standard issue right up to the end of the first gulf war. This book shows the introduction of the PASGT helmet as well as the 6-colour desert uniforms. Details how to use your poncho, pack your ruck, etc. I'm sure you can find it on ebay for cheap.
