First off I'd like to say thanks again for your answers.
I guess I never realized how detailed soldier's gear was at first. Since the whole Airsoft craze I've come to realize that it's not as simple as it looks when you don't pay attention. Saying this, would you guys happen to have any links defining a couple of a soldiers' equipment and how they are used? Kind of hard choosing what to wear when you don't even know the purpose they are for or how they come together.
Again, I'm looking for a simple Rifleman loadout similar to those of the US Marines or SEALs. Something like the guy on the right but
with different colours:
