This model was issued by the MoD, under UOR purchasing for OP HERRICK, as Vehicle Commanders’ bags

Popularised by CP Teams as a Car or Grab Bag, these provide considerable additional load capacity

Full coverage front flap with internal, clear map sleeve, map panel is 33 x 24cm

Ammo pouches have Velcro flap closures with pull tabs

Left end as viewed has 2x Pistol Mag pouches, these have height adjustable Velcro flaps and will accommodate most pistol mags, including 20 rounder models

Right end as viewed has single pouch for FFD or Smoke, please note the older signal, and US type smokes are too large for this pouch, with this size in place the flap is not secure, newer L13 type is OK, as shown

Main compartment has 2 way zip (41cm) access and a Velcro flapped antennae/cable port

Large internal compartment has 2 slip pockets, one with Velcro lining to attach further pouches. Various internal fittings, some with Velcro backings to allow personalised configuration

Length adjustable shoulder strap that runs under the bag for maximum load support and stability

Length adjustable waist strap to reduce bounce, with stowage panel if not required

External dimensions of main compartment are 31 x 24 x 13cm

Excellent kit, versatile and robust, similar bags were issued to UK Forces in Afghanistan as Commanders’ Bags

Condition is excellent, nice clean, crips example. Minimal marks, possibly from transit & storage rather than use, may never have been in the field
