Personal equipment
On exercises and operations, soldiers carry their individual weapon, ammunition, water, food and protective clothing. Depending on the tactical situation, riflemen wear either fighting order or marching order. Fighting order weighs about ten kilos and includes all the equipment the soldier needs to survive for two to three days: individual weapon, extra ammunition, and grenades, webbing, digging tool, water bottle, combat rations and washing and shaving kit. Marching order weighs another seven kilos and includes a rucksack or Bergen, beret, gloves, sleeping bag, spare clothes and a towel. For protection, soldiers are issued with a Mark 6 combat helmet. In combat situations, soldiers may also be issued with body armour and a radio headset.
