'''Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment''', or '''MOLLE''' (pronounced {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɒ|l|.|l|iː}} {{respell|MOL|lee}}), is the current generation of load-bearing equipment used by the [[United States Army]]. 

MOLLE equipment uses [[Pouch Attachment Ladder System]] (PALS)-type [[webbing equipment|webbing]] – rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto the gear – to attach pouches. This method has found use on civilian gear, and as a result, the term 'MOLLE' is used outside the military for any equipment generally using PALS-type webbing. The system's modularity results from the PALS allowing for the attachment of various compatible pouches and accessories. This method of attachment has become a ''de facto'' standard for modular tactical gear, replacing the [[All-purpose lightweight individual carrying equipment|All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment]] (ALICE) clips and webbing used in the earliest modular vest systems.<ref name="Modular MOLLE">{{cite web |date=September–October 2001 |title=Modular MOLLE {{!}} The Warrior |url=http://www.natick.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/01/sepoct/packitup.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130721044501/http://www.natick.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/01/sepoct/packitup.htm |archive-date=21 July 2013 |access-date=14 May 2025 |website=natick.army.mil |publisher=US Army Natick Soldier Center (NSC), Natick, MA |quote=MOLLE is an Army and Marine Corps item that replaces the aging ALICE (All-purpose, Lightweight, Individual Carrying Equipment) pack and Integrated Individual Fighting System introduced in 1988.}}</ref><ref name="defenseindustrydaily.com">{{cite web |author=Defense Industry Daily staff |date=April 13, 2005 |title=$77M for MOLLE Backpack Systems |url=http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/77m-for-molle-backpack-systems-0346 |access-date=2013-07-09 |publisher=Defense Industry Daily}}</ref>

== Background ==

Even prior to the introduction of MOLLE, another lightened system of load-carrying equipment had been developed. Known as the [[Individual integrated fighting system|Individual Integrated Fighting System]] (IIFS) and also TLBV, it intended to replace the older All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE). The IIFS load-bearing vests (rifle and 40mm grenadier configurations) had their origins in the vests used by [[United States Navy SEALs|US Navy SEALS]] and other [[Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group|special operations forces]] in [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]]. Though the IIFS did not live up to its expected purpose, it did lay the groundwork for future equipment.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Sampson |first=James B. |date=August 2001 |title=Human Factors Evaluation of the Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment (MOLLE) System |url=https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADA393792 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.org/download/DTIC_ADA393792/DTIC_ADA393792.pdf |archive-date=4 May 2018 |access-date=14 May 2025 |website=archive.org |publisher=US Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM), Soldier Systems Center (SSC), Natick, MA |pages=II / pdf p. 2; p.

The design was based on commercial backpacks modified for military use with the addition of a special fighting vest and a detachable patrol pack. The original focus was to develop a load-carrying system for use in cold weather. However, in the end, the US Army decided the new internal frame pack would be the replacement for the external framed All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment or ALICE system. Production and distribution started in 1990 but by 1993 it was evident that the new internal frame pack was unacceptable to a large number of combat personnel."; "In March 1994, the Training and Doctrine Command System Manager for the Soldier, the Program Manager Soldier, and the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command issued a joint call for a front end analysis (FEA) to determine the best design for a load-bearing system for soldiers and marines. The FEA was used in drafting a new user requirements document and initiating the development of a modular load-carrying system which ultimately became known as the Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE).}}</ref>

=== ALICE and IIFS packs ===
In 1988, the US Army adopted a new [[internal frame pack]] system, a subsystem in IIFS. The design was based on commercial backpacks modified for military use with the addition of a special fighting vest and a detachable patrol pack. The original focus was to develop a load-carrying system for use in [[Cold-weather warfare|cold weather]]. However, in the end, the US Army decided the new internal frame pack would be the replacement for the external framed All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment (ALICE) system. Production and distribution started in 1990 but by 1993 it was evident that the new internal frame pack was unacceptable to a large number of combat personnel.<ref name=":4" /> 

Although a key problem with the internal frame was durability due to poor manufacturing, the IIFS pack system was also judged to have some basic design flaws. Based on a survey of users by the [[US Army Training and Doctrine Command]] (TRADOC), soldiers claimed the pack was too hot against the back in [[warm climates]], and was unstable and uncomfortable when heavily loaded. While many of the features of the system were liked (e.g., the patrol pack, and capacity of the main pack), it was judged not to meet the overall requirements of the Army. In spite of this rejection, most units surveyed (6 of 9), still favored having both load-carrying systems: the ALICE for warm and temperate climates, and the internal frame system for cold weather operations.<ref name=":4" />

== Development ==
An early prototype of a modular system was under development before the call for a front-end analysis for a new & improved military load carrying system in 1994.<ref name=":4" /> This early prototype was later refined based on the front-end analysis.<ref name=":4" />

=== Front-end analysis ===
In March 1994, the [[Training and Doctrine Command]] (TRADOC) System Manager for the Soldier, the [[Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center#Tenant units and facilities|Program Manager Soldier]] (PM-Soldier), and the [[Marine Corps Systems Command]] issued a joint call for a front-end analysis (FEA) to determine the best design for a load-bearing system for soldiers and marines. The front-end analysis was used in drafting a new [[user requirements document]] and initiating the development of a modular load-carrying system.<ref name=":4" />

==== FEA survey ====
Over a period of seven months, questionnaires were distributed to over 2,000 soldiers and marines by the [[Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center|US Army Natick]] Operational Forces Interface Group (OFIG)<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Sampson |first1=James B.* |last2=Leitch |first2=D.

Five [[US Army]] posts (Forts [[Fort Bragg|Bragg]], [[Fort Campbell|Campbell]], [[Fort Drum|Drum]], [[Fort Hood|Hood]] and [[Fort Lewis (Washington)|Lewis]]) and two [[US Marine Corps]] sites (Camps [[Camp Mabry|Mabry]] and [[Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune|Lejeune]]) were visited. All those surveyed had experience with the [[All-purpose lightweight individual carrying equipment|ALICE]], and 40 percent also had experience with the recently introduced [[Individual Integrated Fighting System]] (IIFS). All tests involved experienced soldiers who evaluated candidate systems during simulated tactical movements in the field and laboratory.<ref name=":4" />

The respondents were given 32 statements about their current load-bearing system and asked to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed, slightly or strongly, with the statement. These statements reflected issues related largely to deficiencies of their legacy system, the ALICE as well as to the recently introduced internal frame system. The respondents were also asked to provide suggestions for future developments of a military load-carrying system.<ref name=":4" />

The FEA survey resulted in 1,844 fully completed questionnaires by soldiers and marines from eight military specialties. Fifty-six percent of the respondents were combat infantrymen, 14% [[Combat engineer|combat engineers]], 8% medics and the remainder were communications, chemical, mechanic, and other support specialists.<ref name=":4" />

=== Testing and evaluation (1997–2000) ===
In early tests, MOLLE was evaluated alongside other candidate modular systems, whereas in later tests, MOLLE was either tested alone or with standard ALICE. In all tests, volunteers were asked to rate MOLLE against their current LBE, i.e., the ALICE. Upon completing the individual questionnaire, the team was brought together for group discussion. In most tests, the field actions and group discussions were video recorded for later review and analysis.<ref name=":4" />

MOLLE was developed at [[Natick Labs]] in the mid-1990s, following the introduction of [[IIFS]]. Army leadership believed that the PALS system now presented an opportunity to completely change the way equipment was made.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}} It was conceived as a lighter and more durable system for carrying equipment,<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last1=Kirk |first1=John |last2=Tatton |first2=Gerald E. |last3=Dersain |first3=Paul |date=10 March 1998 |title=US5724707A: Interlock attaching strap system |url=https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/1d/97/f5/c84de0a22f57cb/US5724707.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241203052910/https://patents.google.com/patent/US5724707 |archive-date=3 December 2024 |access-date=13 May 2025 |website=patents.google.com |publisher=[[Department of the Army|US Department of Army]] |pages=pdf p. 6 (ln 27–29) |quote=Application granted (1998-03-10); Publication of US5724707A (1998-03-10); Expired (2016-06-17)"; "It is clearly evident [that] the need exists for a light weight, low bulk (that is flat against the user), reliable and secure fastener.}}</ref> and would lighten the soldier's load.

== Fielding ==
The MOLLE system was introduced in 1997, but did not see widespread issue until after the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001, primarily by U.S. troops serving in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Iraq]]. 

MOLLE entered full rate production in August 2001. Fielding began in October 2001.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=March 2007 |title=MOLLE factsheet {{!}} PM Soldier Equipment |url=https://ciehub.info/References/peosoldier.army.mil/factsheets/SEQ_CIE_MOLLE.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110523224810/https://peosoldier.army.mil/factsheets/SEQ_CIE_MOLLE.pdf |archive-date=23 May 2011 |access-date=14 May 2025 |website=peosoldier.army.mil / ciehub.info (clothing and individual equipment) |quote=MOLLE was authorized for inclusion in CTA 50-900, and entered full rate production in August 2001. Fielding began in October 2001. Current pre-planned product improvements include a modular holster, leader’s pouch, ANPVS 14 pouch, vehicle panel and rucksack liner."; "The MOLLE large rucksack with frame and straps weighs 8 lbs empty.}}</ref>

== Criticisms ==
Early criticisms of the MOLLE system emerged, particularly from the Army. Many of these criticisms have centered on the sustainment-load pack and frame, due to the external plastic frame being too fragile and subject to breaking in the field (since mitigated), that the zippers have a tendency to burst when stuffed full and that the pack's straps lack sufficient length to be used with bulky body armor.<ref name="defenseindustrydaily.com" /> 

The first generation of this system used a ball and socket joint between the frame and rucksack belt (which in itself formed the waistbelt of the MOLLE vest). This method led to numerous lower back injuries due to the ball (mounted on the frame) missing the socket on the waistbelt and hurting the user's body. Subsequent redesign of the SDS MOLLE led to the deletion of this feature, with the vest (aka FLC) and ruck/frame becoming separate non-integral items.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

== Attachment technique ==
{{Main|Pouch Attachment Ladder System}}

=== Terminology ===
The term 'MOLLE' technically only applies to the individual equipment system (manufactured by Specialty Defense Systems) rather than the PALS ([[Pouch Attachment Ladder System]]) webbing that it utilizes. Despite that, 'MOLLE' is often casually used to describe any load bearing system or component in general that utilizes the woven PALS webbing.

Although PALS was proprietary to [[Natick Labs]] from 1998 to 2016,<ref name=":1" /> most in the contracting and commercial industry of individual equipment had used and continue to use the terms 'MOLLE' and 'PALS' interchangeably.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

=== Attaching system ===
[[File:PALS webbing size.svg|thumb|Pattern for [[Pouch Attachment Ladder System|PALS]] grid of webbing, consisting of {{Convert|1|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us|adj=on|disp=}} tall webbing and gaps, with {{Convert|1.5|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us|adj=on}} wide insert loops (for pouch attachment straps)]]

The [[Pouch Attachment Ladder System|PALS]] grid is made up of repeating horizontal rows of {{Convert|1|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us|adj=on|disp=}} tall [[webbing]] spaced 1 inch apart. The stitched lines (specifically [[Bar tack|bartacks]]) create a horizontal opening of {{Convert|1.5|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us}} through which pouch attachment straps can be fed.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Pouch Attachment Ladder System |url=https://ciehub.info/equipment/loadbearing/PALS.html#gsc.tab=0 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120813020851/http://loadbearingequipment.ciehub.info/PALS.html |archive-date=13 August 2012 |access-date=14 May 2025 |website=ciehub.info (clothing and individual equipment) |quote=The Pouch Attachment Ladder System is a grid of webbing that consists of rows of heavy-duty nylon stitched onto load-carrying platforms such as backpacks and vests. This system attaches items through the "inter-weaving" of webbing between the item to be attached and the platform to which it is being attached. (_enter_); To properly attach an item, choose the desired attachment point on the platform. Line up the top of the item even with the top of the nearest horizontal 1 inch webbing that goes across the platform. Insert the attachment strap on the item down the 1.5 inch channel on the platform, then behind the 1 inch webbing on the back of the item. Continue weaving the attaching strap behind the horizontal webbing on the platform and the webbing on the back of the item until the item is secured along its entire length. (_enter_); This attachment system is extremely secure and stable when used properly. (_enter_); Do not simply place the attaching strap through the platform webbing without the interlocking weave. The items will not be secure if attached in this manner.}}</ref>

Pouches are attached by aligning the PALS webbing on the platform and the pouch so that the rows interleave with each other and the bartacks are aligned. An anchoring strap on the pouch is then woven through both sets of webbing and secured with a [[snap fastener]] at the base. This interwoven and interlocking design keeps the pouch securely in place.<ref name=":3" />

PALS measurements (for 1 inch webbing):

* 1 inch tall webbing
* 1 inch gap, alternating with the prior piece
* 1.5 inch wide insert loops (for pouch attachment straps)

The height of the webbing is 1 inch or 25.4 mm, with a tolerance of ± {{Convert|1/16|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us|disp=or}} — equivalent to {{Convert|0.9375–1.0625|in|mm|2|abbr=out|sp=us|disp=}}.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 November 1996 |title=A-A-55301 (Base Document) - Webbing, textile, textured or multi-filament nylon |url=https://milspecmonkey.com/materials/A-A-55301.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250315045833/https://milspecmonkey.com/materials/A-A-55301.pdf |archive-date=15 March 2025 |access-date=13 May 2025 |website=milspecmonkey.com |pages=1, 3}}</ref> In other words, the height of webbing can be off by about half of 1/10th an inch, and still remain within tolerance. In metric, the tolerance is within roughly 1.25 mm on the low end and roughly 2.00 mm on the high end.

The misalignment of divider bartacks in 1.5 inch insert loops is considered acceptable within approx. {{Convert|1.4–1.6|in|mm|abbr=out|sp=us|adj=}} wide.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}

=== Derivatives ===
Derivatives based on the MOLLE attachment method (such as the Tactical Tailor MALICE clip system) have also been developed. Any system that utilizes modular attachment methods and is usable with U.S. general issue MOLLE components is often considered "MOLLE-compatible" or is called a "MOLLE" system. Increasingly, non-military manufacturers are incorporating PALS onto outdoor equipment.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

There are three general modes of attachment in the MOLLE category; the "Natick Snap", which uses a [[polyethylene]] reinforced webbing strap with the 'pushthedot' snap fastener for security; the polymer "Malice" clip, developed by Tactical Tailor as an alternative to the Natick Snap concept, which interweaves like the Natick Snap but terminates in a semi-permanent closure that requires a screwdriver or other flat-tipped object to disengage; and a variety of attachments that fall into the "Weave & Tuck" category, in which the end of an interwoven strap is tucked into an item's backing after attachment to a vest or pack (Paraclete's SofStrap and Spec Ops Brand's hybrid attachment).{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

== Components ==
The MOLLE system has several components; a Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) vest, modular pouches/pockets, large rucksack (aka main pack & Sleep System Carrier), assault pack, pack frame, and [[hydration system]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=5 February 2010 |title=CO/PD 02-02 (Revision F Draft) - Modular lightweight load-carrying equipment (MOLLE) |url=https://ciehub.info/spec/PD/CO-PD-02-02F-Draft.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230528223931/https://ciehub.info/spec/PD/CO-PD-02-02F-Draft.pdf |archive-date=28 May 2023 |access-date=13 May 2025 |website=ciehub.info (clothing and individual equipment) |pages=28 |quote=3.9 Design.
