I started carrying 600 rounds after the first patrol and left the food behind. There was always food lying around when I wanted some but ammo got very precious at times.

To be more accurate, basic load for every man:

406 rounds (3 bandoliers @ 3x7x18 + 1 30 rd mag (28 rds))
100 rounds 7.62 belted for M60
4 frags
2 smoke
1 claymore
1 PRC-77 battery
1 lb C4

Water
Chow
etool

plus LAWs, flak jacket (1 per squad), radios, KY-38’s, 40mm, etc

pretty big load for the mountains
