ARMY SPECIAL OPS SERGEANT BY DRAGON

Here is one of my older military figure from Dragon. He is released to commemorate the First Gulfwar's10th anniversary. But as of now he is probably celebrating the 20th anniversary of the First Gulfwar. Like all Dragon figures they were given names, this guy is "Brian".
Special Ops Sgt. Brian

During the first gulf war the six color dessert pattern was the standard uniform worn by US troops.
It was also called chocolate chip pattern.

The Sgt. carries a M16A2 as his main weapon and a M9 side arm.

The Tactical Load Bearing Vest was commonly used during this period.
The TLBV can carry up to six M16 30 round mags and 2 fragmentation pockets (below the ammo pouch).
The vest is fastened to the belt using 10 loops.
The belt can accommodate items such as the canteen, radio pouch and butt pack.

During the first gulf war the threat of bio weapons was a major concern for troops.
Most troops have protective suit (NBC suit) and gas masks.
The Sgt. carries a mask on his hip.
