This DF-LCS LBE was produced by Eagle Industries for USAF Security Forces Squadrons. On this set up: 3x double ammo pouch, 1x double ammo pouch with buckle, 1x IFAK pouch, 1x MBITR pouch, and 2x canteen/utility pouch. Not shown: Safariland drop-leg holster.

Another Security Forces set up. Unpopular one. The Load Bearing Vest is made by Advantage Wear & Gear out of Texas. The company caters to USAF’s COTS purchases. USAF purchased a lot of “over-counter” LC-2 equipment in tan to issue their airmen deploying to Middle East. That set up was rarely used due better and better gear available for private purchase; as well due to the USAF transitioning to MOLLE equipment.
