论一个侦搜队员的战术装备修养
一个战斗侦查小队需要轻装上阵，但任需要携带足够在战场上活下来的装备。为了使侦查任务能圆满完成，机动性是关键。如果一个队员负重太多，在遇敌反应上会弱逼许多。重装所导致的精神及身体上的疲劳将会使队员在面对需要快速反应的情况下处于危险的境地。
The trackers combat load is the mission-essential equipment required to fight and survive in the environment he’s operating in. He can’t be expected to carry gear for every possible contingency or combat situation, rather his loadout must be based on his particular mission and the ability to remain mobile but combat effective. When deciding on equipment, choose items that are light and multipurpose. Fighting loads must be light so that the tracker may remain alert, agile and stealthy.
侦搜小队的装备是紧紧贴合任务需求的，并能使其在任务环境下生存。我们不能指望携带所有可能遇到的意外或战斗情况或生存所需的装备。而是基于精准的任务需求，同时保持机动性和战斗力。在装备的选择上，我们需要挑选多用途和轻量的装备，战斗载荷一定要轻，以保持队员的警觉，灵活性以及伪装性。
Mission essential equipment is broken down into three categories:

第三类：（拓展装备）
1. Ruck Sack. This piece of equipment holds all mission essential equipment that’s to be carried by the tracker for extended operations. The size of this pack is dictated by the amount of equipment the tracker will need to sustain himself until a resupply can be requested. The estimated time on operation, terrain operating in and weather conditions the trackers will have to endure are all be factors to be considered.
1：战术背包，这货塞了所有士兵任务所需的装备（这里其实意思是除了第一和第二大类的东西，分类的好处是即使因为各种原因背包或背心被丢弃，你也不会因为必要的生存装备丢失而苦逼。这个相当重要）。背包的尺寸取决于战士所能得到补给的时间。同时任务所持续的时间，战士所经受的任务地形和气候也是考虑因素。
2. Rations. Enough rations for 48-72 hours should be carried.
2：口粮，足够48~72小时的口粮

The best aspect of the Viper is that it is designed to be worn in conjunction with the trackers combat equipment without interfering with the trackers ability to get to the pouches on his LBE.

6：大垃圾袋，用来防水以及储存行动中产生的垃圾
7. Weapons Cleaning Kit. This kit should be capable of maintaining your weapon in a field environment. At a minimum, the kit should contain a bore brush, chamber brush, cleaning rod, slotted tip for patches, patches, CLP, lens brush for optics and an all-purpose utility brush.

11. VS-17 Panel. The VS17 Signal Panel can be laid out on the ground to identify troop positions to friendly aircraft or to identify where help is needed.
11：VS-17 求生信号布，这货在第一类中提到过，其实是一块很大的橘色布料，可以为友军直升机提供降落指示，也可以用来辨识需要支援的地点。

12：E-Tool （折叠铲），这货又轻又耐操可挖可砍简直就是杀人越货必备的好货

18. Sleeping Gear. Depending on the environment, this could range from a sleeping system with a ground mat for extreme temperatures, to a poncho liner for more tropical climates.

20. Bungee Cords. For quick lashing of items such as the tarp.
20：垂降绳，用来迅速捆绑东西
21. 550 Cord. 25-30 feet of cordage should be carried for repairing, tying or lashing items.
21：同上的550伞绳，作用一致
22. Spare Socks. Foot maintenance is imperative! Dry clean socks will help prevent blisters, hotspots and athlete’s foot.
22：备用的袜子，脚的保养至关重要啊骚年们，干燥干净的袜子有助于防止水泡，磨伤和脚气
Again, when deciding on equipment, choose items that are light and multipurpose. Fighting loads must be light so that the tracker may remain alert, agile and stealthy.
再重申一下，在装备的选择上，我们需要挑选多用途和轻量的装备，战斗载荷一定要轻，以保持队员的警觉，灵活性以及伪装性。
