US Tactical Assault Panel | (TAP) MOLLE II - Issued
The US Tactical Assault Panel (TAP) is the current-issue modular chest rig designed to replace the older Fighting Load Carrier (FLC). It is a low-profile, high-durability platform made from 1000D Cordura nylon. The rig features eight integrated pockets (six for magazines and two for radios/GPS) and three rows of MOLLE webbing on the front for adding customized pouches. It is designed for versatility, allowing it to be worn as a standalone chest rig with the included harness or attached directly to body armor like the IOTV or SPCS.

The Tactical Assault Panel (TAP) is a genuine US military-issued component of the MOLLE II system, engineered to provide a scalable and quick-release solution for carrying a combat load.
Key Features & Layout:
- Front Storage: Features six center pockets specifically sized for M4/M16 magazines with hook-and-loop flap retention. Two slightly larger outboard pockets on the ends are designed for handheld radios (like the MBITR), GPS units, or additional magazines.
- MOLLE Integration: The entire front face is covered with three rows of MOLLE webbing, allowing the user to stack additional ammunition pouches, medical kits, or utility pouches.
- Rear Admin Pockets: The back (body side) contains three large mesh pockets for flat items. The left and center pockets use hook-and-loop closures, while the right pocket features a zippered closure, making them ideal for maps, documents, or signal panels.
- Materials: Constructed from heavy-duty 1000 Denier Cordura nylon. It utilizes MIL-spec thread, YKK zippers, and ITW Nexus/UTX buckles for field reliability.
Mounting & Configuration:
- Standalone Mode: Can be worn as a chest rig using the included adjustable Y-shaped or H-shaped harness (depending on the specific kit version). This allows for a lightweight setup that can be worn over or under other layers.
- Armor Integration: The panel is designed to clip directly into the front of the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV) or Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS). By attaching only to the front, the user retains the ability to use the vest’s emergency quick-release pull-tab without the TAP interfering.
- Adjustability: One-size-fits-all design with adjustable side straps and harness height to accommodate different torso sizes and clothing layers.
