That set up is what we called Load Bearing Equipment or "LBE". I always liked mine but in the last 15 years or so the Army has begun using a vest setup. I like the vest better since it spreads the weight out more evenly across your shoulders. This is not a bad piece of equipment at all.
I tried finding a link but I can't find what I have at home. I leave NTC (Ft Irwin) in a day or two I'll take couple of pics of what I have and post them here. I still have the Desert Tan one I was issued to wear over my Body armor on my first trip to Iraq but it's in the barn back in Texas. That's the one I intend to use after I retire next month.
