US Navy SEALs

[Thorazine]

Rig setup... this still has a lot more work to be done. I have a few more touchups and extra pouches to add. Any input would be awesome.

PACA Tan LowVis BA
LBT SWCC vest
LBT M4x3
EI MBITR
EI M4x1
AI 249 pouch, split down the middle.
EI OD MAP, painted tan.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a kit list (Or list of gear) that deep recon SEAL's (Greenside) use. What I had in mind:
-Woodland boonie, RAID BDU's, tan or black jungle boots, black kneepads (Hatch, Alta?), sage flight gloves.
-LBT 1195J Riverine, ALICE suspenders/belt "SEAL" modded, BHI belt/suspenders, USGI ALICE pouches, LBT/BHI pouches?

And for guns/attachments, it would be a standard M4 SOPMOD, no? And could a TA01NSN ACOG be usable, along with a PEQ-2?

Thanks!

Depends on the era. I'm sure today they would not be using ALICE in most cases. Maybe the LBT riverine, chest rigs, LBVs and such.
I would not use kneepads for a recon impression. More of a DA item IMO, too uncomfortable to wear over long periods and the sound of the plastic armor hitting a stone when kneeling would be a give away.
Standard M4 would be good with less gadgets than DA/CQB.

Not a SEAL expert so can't go into more details on specific loadouts.

As Mattmayham said avoid knee pads, and ALICE.

In terms of Greenside, the camo depends on the AO, the gloves are operator choice (I use mechanix M Pact, with the thumb and index finger cut off at knuckle )

For gear look at LBT 1961G, TAG Intrepid, EI Multi Purpose Chest Rig, or if its really long range, the HSGI Denali (not used so much anymore), EI RRV . That'll cover your rigs and ammo carrying. Remember though a pistol is optional and generally is not carried on Greenside since your main focus is INTEL, not shooting.

For packs look into EI A-III-MS, Kealty 3500 MAP, Mystery Ranch SATL, Kifaru type packs. Mystery Ranch and Kifaru packs are gaining popularity but they aren't cheap!

For head gear you'll see boonies, boonies with jute / burlap / netting, patrol caps, shemaghs, sniper veils or similar. Face paint isn't used much by SEALs anymore, though MFR still rock it.

Onto weapons you'll see M4 SOPMOD, though in cold weather or mountains you generally see no optics or attachments. For GREENSIDE anywhere else you will probably see mixes of Aimpoint, or Spectre Dr sights (ACOG if your doing Block I SOPMOD and earlier). PEQs are up in the air, and are probably stored with gear till needed.

Basically for GREENSIDE, think light weight, very low profile, and nothing that rattles, or jingles. For boots it could come down to Merrel Sawtooth, ASOLO (forgot the model ) or merrel MOAB styles are pretty popular, but again depends on the AO.

Keep in mind that greenside doesn't mean jungle/wood... to quote I can't remember who:

Deep reconnaissance ("Green Side"): surveillance and intelligence gathering missions
Direct action ("Black Side"): missions against specific targets.

So it can totally be greenside in the middle of the desert or blackside in deep jungle... Though greenside in an urban area is less likely. So as Stewartb109 said, the AO will influence not only the camo, but also the headwear and footwear.

I tried my hand at the Skull frog logo found in some SEAL pics....Tell me what you think

[lonesniper]

Thanks Conker And ehh, I think my next rig might be a 6094 so you might be seeing that frog on one of those soon too

My seal loadout. Its not done yet but I'm wanting your opinion, and constructive criticism so I know I'm on the right track.

[Stewartb109]

All depends on what time period SEAL your going for. It looks like your trying mostly 2005 style.

[Redneck Jimbo]

Hi, I posted this back on page 12 back in 09 and im trying to get the impression down to a T.
I'm doing a Navy SEALs mid 90s woodland/Riverside impression. I have the base load out done but I'm wondering what I'm missing.
I have a;
-Pantac 1195j in OD
-Pantac versatile holster in RG (looking to change)
http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...l?prodID=26112
-Woodland Pants, jacket and bouny hat
-M4A1 Carbine with M203, ACOG and a Crain stock (for the battery. function over looks)
-USP 45 tactical

(update) Looking at a new holster, prefrably a drop leg that will fit a USP Tac and coms head set.

Is there anything I need or should change besides the stock?

Pics to come shortly.
