Interesting article about David Barish.

Looks like a classic case of fixing what ain't broke. I'm sure it's less expensive to manufacture, too - right? ............................................................................................. It was more like too many broken legs with the old T-10. Modern soldiers are "more muscular" than previous generations. When you over-load them with rucksacks - containing 150 pounds of light-weight, go- fast gear - plus body armour, plus weapons, plus extra ammo, plus lots of water, plus extra batteries then drop them in an Afghan mountain valley 6,000 feet above sea level you are guaranteed to break more legs. The only solution is more square feet of fabric over-head. Then we get into a rousing debate about whether those extra square feet should be round (T-10) or cross-shaped (AT-11) ........ I can fix that for you. 1) Ascertain the 'muscularity' of your soldiers and address that on its own merits. 2) Don't overload an individual with an excessive load. Drop that separately. First priority is to insert a capable force with an initial load, then add more capacity. Either intersperse your first drop with ammo/rations/etc., or drop a resupply after you establish your area of operations. 3) Utilize larger, proven, rounds to accomplish the above.
