Soldier Load: The Art and Science of ‘Fighting Light’

In modern infantry operations, the real challenge isn’t a Soldier’s strength—it’s the weight they carry. Overloaded packs drain energy, slow movement, and reduce combat effectiveness long before the fight begins. By rethinking what’s essential, training smarter, and mastering efficient resupply, units can move lighter, faster, and with greater tactical advantage. The “lightfighter” mindset turns mobility into a force multiplier, ensuring troops stay lethal and mission-ready.
