The MOLLE 4000 Field Pack is a tactical backpack designed for military use, specifically created to meet the needs of the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Army. Here are some key features and details about the MOLLE 4000 Field Pack:

1. Design Purpose:

   • The MOLLE 4000 was developed to provide paratroopers with a durable and versatile pack suitable for airborne operations. It addresses the shortcomings of previous models, offering enhanced functionality for airborne and general military use.

2. Capacity and Dimensions:

   • The pack has a capacity of approximately 4,000 cubic inches (hence the name MOLLE 4000), which translates to around 65 liters. This capacity is suitable for extended missions where soldiers need to carry a significant amount of gear.
   • The dimensions are typically around 23 inches in height, 15 inches in width, and 10 inches in depth.

3. Materials:

   • The pack is constructed from heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant nylon, making it robust and suitable for harsh environments.
   • It is designed to withstand rough handling and the rigors of combat and airborne operations.

4. MOLLE System:

   • The MOLLE 4000 features the Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system, which includes PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) webbing on the exterior. This allows for the attachment of additional pouches and accessories, providing customization based on the mission requirements.

5. Compartments and Accessibility:

   • The pack has a large main compartment with internal organization features to help manage gear efficiently.
   • It also includes multiple external pockets and compartments for quick access to essential items.
   • Compression straps are included to stabilize the load and minimize bulk.

6. Comfort and Ergonomics:

   • The pack is designed with padded shoulder straps, an adjustable waist belt, and a padded back panel to ensure comfort during long marches or while carrying heavy loads.
   • The design helps distribute weight evenly, reducing strain on the wearer.

7. Compatibility with Airborne Operations:

   • One of the critical design aspects of the MOLLE 4000 is its compatibility with airborne operations. It includes features such as lower profile designs to reduce snagging during parachute deployment, securing straps to stabilize the load, and compatibility with parachute harness systems.

8. Additional Features:

   • Hydration system compatibility, allowing the integration of hydration bladders.
   • External frames or stiffeners for enhanced load support.
   • Drainage holes in the bottom compartments to allow water to escape, which is useful in wet environments.

The MOLLE 4000 Field Pack represents a significant upgrade over earlier models used by airborne and ground troops, incorporating feedback from soldiers to improve its practicality and durability in the field.
