The MOLLE II Large Rucksack has an approximate internal volume of 2900 cubic inches in the top compartment and 830 cubic inches in the lower compartment, and is capable of carrying a 120-pound load.

The flap covering the top opening of the rucksack provides water resistance, and has a mesh pocket for small reference and information materials. It is secured with a hook and loop closure. The lower compartment provides storage of readily available mission items (e.g., poncho liner, modular sleeping bag system, rain suit, etc.).

The rucksack incorporates drain holes. The exterior sides and outermost side of the rucksack contain PALS webbing to accomplish secure attachment/detachment of the modular pouches/pockets and other individual equipment items/carriers. There is a non-reflective slide-in name holder for Marine/Soldier identification on the exterior of the rucksack.

Inside the Large Ruck, against the back panel, is a water-resistant, removable radio pouch designed to carry a SINCGARS/ASIP radio.
