KEY FEATURES
This genuine Greek Army M56 webbing set is a complete seven-piece tactical load-carrying system.
Cold War Origin
Officially designated as the M1971 Load Carriage System, this webbing was manufactured in Greece during the Cold War. The Hellenic Army developed this gear as a direct copy of the American Vietnam-era M1956 Load-Carrying Equipment (LCE). It served front-line Greek infantry units from 1971 until the late 1980s, proving its reliability across rugged Mediterranean terrain.
Complete Load-Carrying Kit
The system is made from heavy-duty cotton canvas built to endure military trials. It includes a reinforced pistol belt, padded H-harness suspenders, two ammo pouches, a plastic canteen inside a felt-lined cover, a first aid pouch, and a field pack. This cotton webbing distributes weight comfortably across your waist and shoulders.
Modern Outdoor Utility
This combat webbing provides a durable alternative to modern civilian gear for bushcraft, hiking, or airsoft. The modular canvas pouches attach securely to the eyelet-lined belt, preventing gear from bouncing during movement. The classic butt pack offers quick access to essential gear, keeping your hands free on demanding outdoor treks.
Equip yourself with a complete Cold War loadout and carry your outdoor gear with time-tested military utility.
This item was used by the Other Army during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
