I Wore This Kit for 16 Months in Afghanistan - My Actual RTO Loadout (2006–2007) | Spiritus Systems

Adam from Spiritus Systems breaks down the exact chest rig and loadout he carried as an RTO (Radio Telephone Operator) during his first deployment to Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division from 2006–2007. This is the gear that helped inspire the founding of Spiritus Systems - because sometimes the Army just doesn't issue you what you need. From 11 magazines and a PVS-14 to a crypto device, dual radios (AN/PRC-117F and MBITR), field-stripped MREs, and a level 6 raincoat that changed his life - Adam walks through every pouch and explains the why behind each piece of kit based on real-world experience in a resource-starved combat environment. Whether you're a history buff, a gear nerd, an active duty soldier, or a veteran who ran a similar kit during the G-WOT - this one's for you. Drop your own Afghanistan or Iraq loadout in the comments. Adam reads them - especially the mean ones. - TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:31 Adam introduces the kit, 10th Mountain Division Afghanistan 2006-2007 1:21 Should you be an RTO?
