Tactical Gear

If you’re interested in the military or general combat situations, you should know all about tactical gear. If you’re out in the battlefield, you’re as good as dead without your tactical gear. The term tactical gear is a very broad one; it can mean effectively basic equipment used out on the battlefield or more advanced equipment for specialist missions or patrols. On the most basic level tactical gear refers to body armour. You cannot go out into a warzone without it. Body armour is not a miracle, it cannot save you every single time, but what it can do is either stop a bullet from piercing you, or at least impede the bullet enough to slow it down so it doesn’t get deep into the body. In terms of more advanced tactical gear you could consider ammunitions and gear pouches to be part of the broad tactical gear term. The pouches are either part of the body armour or worn separately on a belt. In some cases additional pouches can be added to basic Tactical Gear, but there is always a risk that the weight of doing so will slow you down or lead to exhaustion sooner than expected, so you have to balance out practicality when assigning amounts of tactical gear to either yourself or others.

Supplementary tactical gear would include hydration systems. Out in the dessert or practically any other battlefield without naturally occurring water, you are going to get thirsty. This is not an assumption, it will happen. Hydration systems are effectively backpacks filled with water or water with a glucose compound mixture for additional energy. A tube runs out of the hydration systems that be inserted into your mouth when you want to drink. More supplementary tactical gear includes devices such as night vision goggles, which are only advised for night missions or patrols. In terms of further supplementary tactical gear, there are more permutations of carrying capacity, defence capacity, and technological capacity. You can’t carry all the tactical gear, so in squads usually essential and supplementary tactical gear is spread across several members rather than a single person.
