First Fusiliers Battlegroup at exercise Prairie Storm (Canada) ....pics by Corporal James McAllister

NOTE:  I found these pics interesting because of how the British soldiers wear their kit.  Its heavily biased toward what we would call a "battle belt".  As a matter of fact we don't see the type of chest rigs that are so popular in US forces.  The Brits are just as mechanized as we are.  They do air assault in much the same way.  Why haven't they jumped full force on the chest rig movement?  They seem to have dabbled a bit and then went back to their normal way of doing things.  What do they know that they're not telling us?
