More medic kit? Medic Pouches and/or rucksack, as I am sure you are aware they do carry quite a bit of kit other than fighting load.

Re: US Parajumper Loadout Ideas

Didn't some special forces units keep them ? . I know for a fact that a lot of Seals did , the load-out was meant to be late 2009 to mid 2010 .

Re: US Parajumper Loadout Ideas

FWIW I have never seen any AFSOC using the SCAR. But since you are doing your impression of a PJ, use what you have and it will be fine. AFSOC pics for reference:

Speaking to USAF guys at RIAT, the scar h is to gradually replace the m4 as the preferred weapon for their SF. He also said eventually the plan is to totally phase out the m16 from the US military and the m4 will be the standard. This will be regular through to national guard. Obviously with the state of the budget, this may take a while.

Not completely, the SCAR H (Mk17) is still in service with some units such as DEVGRU. But on the whole most USSF use either the SOPMOD Block II or the Mk18 Mod 1 now.

They would like to but that was already axed from the budget. The US Army is still trying to re-test weapons to seek a replacement for the M4/M16 and there has even been talk that if the M4 is continued in service that Colt may not be the manufacturer anymore.

So their will be a big thread with multiple loadouts in with and if there is demand a complete quide.
