All-purpose lightweight individual carrying equipment

The all-purpose lightweight individual carrying equipment (ALICE) is a set of load-carrying equipment, adopted as United States Army Standard A on 17 January 1973. The ALICE system was developed from 1967 to 1972 in the LINCLOE (lightweight individual combat clothing and equipment) program, and was initially designated the M-1972 lightweight load-carrying equipment (LLCE), switching to the ALICE name shortly afterward.
