i also have a pair of nomex flight gloves, woodland TRU, and a pair of black swat boots(jungle boots way too heavy)
i have a OD mich helm right now.
im thinking of buying a black belt for the pistol holster, black kneecaps, and a woodland boonie
i also have a hk416 and usp
1. what else should i get/do i need?
2. should i replace my mich with the boonie or a smaller helmet?(smaller for a lighterweight)
3. im buying from uncompany. will my usp work with other pistol holsters? like a glock one? or do i need a general one
thanks for the help!!

In this context 'gear' is singular and will remain so no matter how encompassing it is numerically.
1. Vest
Look at current and past pictures of US SF using the RAV. By and large they'll actually be CAG, but you might find a couple of gems in there too.
The RAV has largely been seen using Paraclete pouches. Almost exclusively, really, since Paraclete offers the RAV in a package with a gazillion pouches. You're most accurate if you use Paraclete pouches. How you configure them on your RAV is up to you, but you can take a look here for ideas:

2. Gat
Whole 416s have not been widely issued to SF. They have been to CAG, and some SF units have been running the 416 piston upper to M4 lowers. You might want to go with a plainer M4 SOPMOD of some sort. Again, look at pictures and accessorize accordingly.
USPs are not in wide use with any US SOF unit. Mainstays for SF units are largely the M9 and sometimes 1911, NSW prefers the 226, and CAG happens to run Glocks.
3. Other Gear
- Decide what kind of SOF look you want to pattern after. If it's greenside, the RAV will cook you. Switch to an H-type harness of some sort. If it's DA, the RAV is good. If you're looking to do some kind of desert thing, you might want to consider switching to khaki.
- Get a pistol-specific holster.
- look at pictures and determine what 'kneecaps' you need, if any.
- Headgear should match the look you are pursuing.
