I'd like to form some picture of what they actually use in Iraq, for the US Army, say, platoon level.
I'd welcome relevant links and any comment.
Groups of equipment/angle of view:
1. Battle dress, helmets, personal armor; performance, manufacturers, cost.
2. Items of military utility:
Night vision goggles, radios, etc. Manufacturer and cost again, battery type and life.
3. Weapons: knives and bayonets, hand grenades, handguns, shotguns, rifles and scopes, machine guns, grenade launchers; amounts of ammo carried, etc.
4. Vehicles:
For instance, Humvee. Performance in detail, down to tire pressure; armament, like M2 or Minigun; ammo supply; crew.
Weapons preferred by the enemy are also of interest, down to black market cost.
Sorry if I weren't clear enough, but grateful in advance, Alexey
