US ALICE Cargo Tie-Down Strap, LC-1, Surplus

A vintage utility strap for the ALICE system. This is marked LC-1, which means the first generation of ALICE gear. This strap is meant to be used when something other than the rucksack needs to be attached to the ALICE frame.

The ALICE load bearing equipment was developed during the Vietnam War, and taken into use shortly afterwards. The ALICE system components were manufactured up to the 2000's, talking about a long service life.
