September 27, 2017 by Brandon Webb 1 Comment

Brandon Webb's Afghan Recon Loadout

Photo: Brandon is top row second from the left next to Navy SEAL Astronaut Chris Cassidy and Navy SEAL Heath Robinson below.

  • London Bridge Rhodesian Chest Rig. The linked version is slightly different from my original.
    • Eight 30 round magazines of 5.56 match (wish I had the Surefire high cap mags)
    • Magnetic Compass
    • Blood Chit
    • Area Map (Local and Country)
    • Med Kit
    • $100 US
    • Leatherman Tool
    • Signal Mirror
    • Strobe (visible and IR)
    • Wool Cap (extremely valuable kit–Massif is my choice now)
    • Glint tape and IR U.S. Flag
    • Garmin GPS (Garmin rocks)
  • Desert Cammies (customized by me)
  • North Face Vest (Now I rock a Massif shell and layering system)
  • M-4 stripped down
    • Aimpoint (not a fan of this anymore, I prefer EOTECH now) zeroed for 200m
    • Back up iron sight
    • Surefire hand grip light with low power LED thumb light switch (great for ship boardings. The LED helps you see without giving off a light AD, giving away your position)
  • HK USP Compact .45 (Big Brother is in the video below)

  • Standard Issue Flight Gloves
  • Zamberlan Mountain Boots
