How much kit do recruits carry in training? I know the commando tests are done with 21lbs of kit & a rifle. Please only accurate answers.
I know loads of British troops have ruined knees, ankles & backs from carrying too much in Afghan/Iraq (145lbs, 65kg), which is just ridiculous for people’s body’s.
I know the MOD had to stop and reduce the weight, so I’m just curious if any current Royal Marines or ex know the differentiating weights of Bergen’s in training?
Thanks so much for your replies, really appreciate you taking the time!
