1. On the left side of the belt :
a) left ammunition pouch at the same time as the left front end of the shoulder strap; this latter pass between the pouch’s shoulder straps;
b) bayonet scabbard – with its own loop;
c) grenade pouch – with both loops;

The result of this assembly is that the belt pouch should be in front, the spare pouch under the belt pouch, somewhat behind it, and the strap in the middle of the belt pouch.
If the spare ammunition pouch, grenade pouch and flask pouch are held on independent shoulder straps, they must be worn under the waist belt in the following order: the grenade pouch over the right shoulder on the left side, and the ammunition pouch and flask over the left shoulder on the right side. The ammunition reserve pouch should be under the belt ammunition pouch slightly behind it, and the flask behind the ammunition reserve pouch.
Adjust the shoulder strap of the assault equipment to your height so that the place where its front and rear ends meet is in the middle of the back, in the hollow between the shoulder blades, and so that the front ends diverging from here fit loosely and tightly across 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.
Fit the waist belt at the waist so that the buckle comes to the front in the middle of the body. Tighten the belt so that the items on it (grenades, ammunition, shovel, etc.) do not pull the waist belt down (approximately so that three fingers can barely fit flat under the belt).
When putting the waist belt with a strap on the overcoat, the belt together with the rear end of the strap should be tucked under the halter from above so that it rests on the buttons.

Before stowing the satchel, prepare all the items to be stowed. Put the satchel on the back wall with the opening facing you and stow it:
(a) In the inner pocket of the satchel, a pair of underwear, over it a spare towel, a pair of spare shirts and handkerchiefs.
All the above items should be placed flat, without folds, according to the size of the pocket so that a soft layer is formed between the back and the hard objects (mug, bowler, etc.) in the satchel.
b) On the bottom of the satchel, according to the width, – a sack with food supplies and wrapped salt.
c) On the right side – a sack with repair stock; in it – a mug with sugar and tea enclosed in it and wrapped separately.
d) On the left side, next to the mug – a kettle in a pouch with bread enclosed inside the kettle. The kettle in the satchel should always be in a cover or wrapped in paper.
e) On top of the mug – a neatly folded consumable towel, and along the side of the satchel – a spoon.
Tie the stowed satchel with the laces, loop the ends and then fasten the flap strap with the buckle.
(e) Place a toiletry item in a pouch in the right outer pocket and a rifle item in a pouch in the left outer pocket and fasten the flap straps by the buckle.
To avoid spoiling the satchel with rifle grease, wipe the oiler thoroughly before putting it in the pouch, close its neck tightly and wrap it with hemp or cloth.
PREPARATION AND FASTENING OF AN OVERCOAT ROLL
Unbutton the left button and spread the overcoat face down; spread the sleeves to the sides; pull back the collar and straighten the folds and pockets; fold the upper part of the overcoat over the lower part of the overcoat across the entire width at the line of the overcoat flap; evenly fold the corners of the overcoat floor and the ends of the sleeves on each side; turn the overcoat hem to the upper edge of the collar.
Tightly roll up the folded overcoat, starting from the waist, all the time straightening the formed folds, equalizing the ends and compacting the roll with your knees, so as to get a tight and flat roll.
The prepared overcoat roll should be laid horseshoe-shaped on the satchel with the fold downwards; well equalize the ends of the roll; holding the ends of the roll from below, put the satchel on the right side wall and tighten the left side of the roll with the overcoat belt, and then turning the satchel over, tighten the right side of the roll with the second belt.
The rope should be well spread out and tightly fit the satchel. The ends of the strap should be in line with the bottom wall (bottom) of the satchel.
The shoulder roll is made longer, without tucking the ends of the sleeves. It is bent in half, and its ends are tightly tied with a long overcoat belt.
and wrap it with soot or rags.
ATTACHING THE PEGS AND TENT CLOACLE PANELS
The pins and raincoat are secured under the bottom of the backpack with two straps.
First, wrap and tie two half-posts and two pegs with a cord (rope) and put them in a cover, and then fold the raincoat cloth into a bundle and put an individual camouflage net inside the bundle.
Loosen the tent straps, thread each of them into the loops of the joke bag, and then into the belt loops of the backpack and fasten it fully with one buckle, and place the end of the straps into a fixed loop. Using the second buckle, secure the folded bundle of the raincoat; Place the ends of the belts into the belt loops.

The part of the helmet located at the top should be covered with an overcoat roll.
FITTING THE PACK TO ASSAULT EQUIPMENT
Adjust the length of the shoulder and slope straps. To do this, it is necessary that the upper edge of the backpack is at shoulder level and lies flat, without being pulled back.
Sloping straps, where they are sewn to the wide part of the shoulder straps, should be one or two fingers above the line of the breast nipples (at the level of the flap of the breast pockets of the tunic); The slope straps fastened to the backpack must be taut, thus supporting the backpack and preventing it from going down the back.
Shoulder straps hooked to the ammo bag frames must also be tight and support the ammo bags.
Adjust the length of the dorsal collar with the hook so that the collar, when the hook is fastened to the waist belt, is slightly stretched and holds the backpack when bending forward and to the sides.
Having done all this, you will correctly adjust the shoulder and waist straps.
