FIELD
PACK - WOODLAND CAMOUFLAGE
ALICE LC-1 LARGE
COMBAT PACK - OLIVE GREENFeatures a large internal pack sack and radio compartment, compression straps, three large external cargo pockets w/cinching buckles, three small accessory pockets, Velcro® closing top flap with a pocket roomy enough for a 2 or 5 Quart collapsible canteen. Conventional lashing or gear attachment patches are provided. Must be used in conjunction with an LC-2 Pack Frame (sold separately); you cannot attach Shoulder Straps to the pack by itself. Size: 22'' x 20'' x19'' (55.9 x 51 x 48 cm). Load Capacity: 70 lbs
It's not clear to me if the following items are all ALICE or not. Also what's LC-1 and LC-2 mean? (probably Load Carrying #1 and #2, but what's the difference?)

5340-00-753-5581 Belt Keeper (ALICE Clip)
I'm not sure if this is the correct NSN for the ALICE clip.
It can go over an object that's no more than 2 5/16" wide and 3/16" (0.1875") thick.
One layer of a ripstop belt is 2 3/16" wide and 0.230" over an eyelet and 0.145 over the material.
So you need to install the ALICE clip along the length of the belt where you want it since you can not slide the clip past an eyelet.
When opened, like in the photo at the left, there is some spring so you can open up the 3/16" to much more for installing the clip.
The shoulder straps on the Field Pack art too bit to allow ALICE items to be attached. I've seen large rubber bands used or other ways to attach stuff.
6605-00-846-7818 Pouch, Lensatic Compass, has a single ALICE clip on back.

8465-00-001-0336 Belt, W.W. II vintage marked LC-1 Eastern Canvas Products
The W.W. II Pistol belt had eyelets spaced 2 3/8" along the belt and 1 5/8" across the belt for attaching things like a canteen. The canteen had bent brass rod, maybe 1/8" diameter, that could be fitted into a pair of holes, either the top or bottom pair by removing the belt and bending it so the distance between the eyelets was small. Once the belt was straight the item attached could not come off the belt. This modern belt has the same eyelets for backward capability with that old system.
Why was the W.W. II belt an LC-1 and the new belt is an LC-2 (or what does LC-1 and LC-2 mean)?

One end has a metal hook permanently attached by folding the strap upon itself and sewing. A metal buckle can slide along the length of the strap and can not slide off since the other end of the strap has a stop formed by rolling three turns of material and then sewing together (bottom of photo at left).
The strap is 53" long.
Hook attached to Buckle.

8465-01-253-5335 Field Pack, Camouflage used with the PRC-104 Radio. Has a separator in the top main compartment and has 3 seperate external pouches, each with a buckle & two snap fasteners.
The prior owner of this pack had used a pair of right shoulder straps in the released mode, with the bottom of the lower straps connected to "D" rings down low on each side of the pack thus allowing him to carry the pack using just shoulder straps and no pack frame. Although this was not the intention, the ALICE system provided the flexibility to easily complete this filed expedient setup.
The main compartment has a divider that appears to be designed to hold a radio. The PRC-104 fits nicely with either the small or large battery boxes attached. There's a strap and buckle that holds the radio into that packet. Either way you install the PRC-104 the strap ends up covering the mode and volume controls. If the AUDIO connector it near your right ear, then the handset cord will be convenient for Pedestrian Mobile operation. If the pack is dismounted and the radio used with the pack on the ground then the radio could be installed either way.
The main compartment is not too large once a radio is installed. The other compartment is 18" deep, just the right size to hold the AT-271 antenna, a counterpoise wire or other wires.
With a PRC-25 or PRC-77 installed in the pocket, the strap covers the frequency display window. A better design would be to use two straps each about 1/3 of the way across to hold the radio, and actually only use the one of them not blocking something.
When the Field Pack is hooked over the Pack Frame a Cargo Shelf in the upper position will add support to the radio, taking it's weight off of the pack cloth. This moves the radio up slightly and the pack closes properly. But is not compatible with tying the lower pack straps to the frame. To use the lower pack straps the Cargo Shelf needs to be removed.
By using the ALICE Pack and Frame the PRC-25, PRC-77 or PRC-104 can be carried in a more or less concealed way and all the accessories can be carried in the pack, so the CW-502 accessory bag is not needed as when the ST-138 radio carrier is used with the PRC-25 or PRC-77. PS Magazine for 1990 issue 451 shows the ALICE Pack Frame as a way to carry the PRC-25 or PRC-77 but does not mention this Camouflage Field Pack or when or why the ST-138 was discontinued.
The shoulder straps need to be installed so that they are not trapped under the Medium Field Pack. I.e. they need to be installed after the Field Pack is slipped over the top of the pack frame. The quick release on the right strap makes it easy to get it through the slit in the top of the pack frame pocket, but the left shoulder strap top strap buckle needs to be undone to get it installed properly.
