Tactical Assault Panel
In 2010, the Tactical Assault Panel (TAP) was designed and fielded as an improvement over the Fighting Load Carrier (FLC) that was a component of the Rifleman Set.
The TAP enables Soldiers to carry all of the MOLLE basic fighting load pouches as did the FLC, yet still allows the Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV)/the Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) to release in emergency situations. The TAP is quickly and easily connected and removed from the IOTV/SPCS so that the heavy fighting load can be removed when not needed on the body armor. The TAP also includes a harness that allows it to be worn and used without body armor.[1]
