As a result of this assembly, the waist bag should be in the front, the spare under the waist, slightly behind it, and the strap in the middle of the waist bag.
If the spare cartridge bag, pomegranate bag and flask case are held on separate shoulder straps, they shall be worn under the waist belt in the following order: pomegranate bag over the right shoulder on the left side, and the spare cartridge bag and flask over the left shoulder on the right side. The spare cartridge bag should be placed under the belt cartridge bag slightly behind it and the flask behind the spare cartridge bag.
Adjust the shoulder strap of the assault equipment so that its front and rear ends meet in the middle of the back, in the recess between the shoulder blades, and that the front ends diverging from here fit freely and tightly to the shoulders.
Adjust the length of the strap by moving the buckles so that the front ends do not slip off the shoulders and the strap supports the waist belt with the items worn on it.
Tighten the belt at the waist so that the buckle is at the front in the middle of the body. Tighten the belt so that the objects on it (grenades, cartridges, shovels, etc. ) do not pull the belt down (approximately so that three fingers can barely fit under the belt).
When putting on a lap belt with a strap on the chin, fill the belt together with the back end of the strap under the spoon top so that it lies on the buttons.
