USGI ALICE Ruck Sack (Medium or Large)

• The Alice pack is the standard pack for US troops at East Wind.
• You may use either the medium or the large, whichever suits your fancy but it must be an ALICE pack.
• This is not only a matter of what is period correct but also a practical matter. The PRC-25/77 radio fits into the radio pouch on the ALICE pack thus an ALICE pack is quite useful in that regard. Sure, lots of other stuff can hold a PRC-25/77 but given that there is considerable expense being paid to convert East Wind over to the correct radios we are specify that we want our radios on rigid frame packs that were designed for such use. You may or may not end up carting a PRC-25/77 around but either way, we want everyone to be able to do so if needed.
• This does not mean that you cannot take another pack in addition to the Alice pack, you just need to make sure that you have the Alice pack as well.
• The supply section will have some stand alone radio carriers for lighter patrols but they obviously get in the way of a ruck sack when you go out for extended patrols so at some point, the Ratelo is going to end up with a radio in his pack.
