Depends on what you are doing

Laying around in a compound or where ever you just wear just your combat 95 like this

When you are out on patrol and such you wear a **** load you have

- PLCE (personal load carry equipment)
- Personal radio
- Body Armour (weighs a tonne after a while of yomping) including helmet
- Weapon and accessories

which looks like

If you're Infantry or Special Ops and out in the patrol areas then you'll be in a LOT of gear. Head to toe list...

0 3.2 lbs Helmet
0 28 lbs vest with plates
0 30lbs rack system or variant with mags and gear
0 ruck or assault pack that can go from 50 to 100 lbs containing water, commo gear, food, extra ammo, sleep gear, and additional mission essential gear.

Depends on where and what the commanders on the ground say.. You may be in full gear, if they consider the threat high enough..
