Well I thought I'd keep my thread alive!
For all those looking for Marines kit here's a basic kitlist through different stages of OIF, I'm also only listing the regular grunts kit as I have no great interest in Force Recon
OIF I 2003:
Uniform: 3 colors desert cammies / desert marpat (although all the invasion was done in MOPP suit, no one should be stupid enough to play a game in this)
Helmet: PASGT or LWH (rarer) w/ 3 colors desert cover or desert marpat cover
Body armor: Woodland or CB IBA
Load carrying Equipment: FLC loaded with mix'n'match of ALICE and SDS woodland pouches
Boots: Tan Altama or Belleville 550 ST
Goggles: SWD w/ socks sleeve
Pistol holster: Really though to say if one was an absolute standard... M12, M12 w/ hip extender, privately bought drop leg
Gloves: Cold weather glove liner (od), pilot flight gloves
Weapons: M16A2, M16A4, SAW MKII, M9
Misc: M40 gas mask bag could be used as a dump mag, an old PASGT 3 color desert cover was sometimes layered over woodland IBA to obviously suit them better for desert use
OIF II: Fallujah insurgency 2004
Uniform: desert marpat
Helmet: PASGT (rarer) or LWH w/ desert marpat cover
