Propper USMC MARPAT ILBE Assault Pack Flexible Plastic Frame Sheet Panel Insert

USMC ILBE Assault Pack by Arc'Teryx / Propper - GEN I & II Flexible Plastic Frame Sheet Panel Insert Improved Load Bearing Equipment (ILBE) This listing is for a NEW Flexible Plastic Frame Sheet Panel insert that fits into the back zippered packet of the ILBE Assault pack. Assault pack is not included - plastic insert only. Description: FRAME SHEET, ASSAULT PACK, COMPONENT OF IMPROVED LOAD BEARING EQUIPMENT (ILBE) REPAIR KIT. Fit is the same for both GEN I and GEN II ILBE assault packs. NSN: 8465-01-515-8790 These frame sheets are new and have never been issued. Great for replacing that broken or missing insert. Installation and removal tip: Bend the panel into a "U" shape the long way and insert with the tapered end toward the bottom. These are darn near impossible to insert and remove without bending into this shape. In 2004 mass production started on the ILBE Packs (Improved Load Bearing Equipment) to replace the heavier MOLLE Packs (Modular Light Load Carrying Equipment) and was specially designed for the US Marines to provide durable lightweight means of transporting clothing textiles and equipment. There are 2 Generations of this pack. The Gen I pack has the black padding & buckles and the Gen II pack has the coyote brown padding and buckles. Both were produced in the Digital Woodland MarPat (Marine Pattern). Made in the USA by Propper International Sales, Inc.
