How a Navy SEAL sets up his War Belt | Duty Belt | Tactical Rifleman

- This week on Tactical Rifleman, I review the basic setup and components of one configuration of my war belt I utilized in the SEAL Teams. Much like the body armor setup video, the war belt is also not a one-size fits all setup. Team guys set up their kit in a manner that both fits their load bearing requirements and comfort as well as achieving the minimum loadout for their position in the platoon. Now, there is nothing sexy about this setup. Due to the maritime component of SEAL operations, salt water wreaks havoc upon gear. Therefore, the kit I carry is designed for function and is predominately a maritime setup (Visit Board Search Seizure (VBSS)/Zodiac work/Diving, etc.). I use a more high-speed setup when operating in a direct action or land warfare capacity. That means that the kit is a bit nicer and more expensive in order to stand up to a harsh, dryer environment as well as to carry additional ordnance items and communications equipment.
The components on the belt are a bit of a “hodge podge” of different brands of gear; some of it issues and some of it scrounged from the DRMO (recycle) bin (yes, SEALs sometimes have to dive into the “land of abandoned gear” for stuff). The point is, you don’t need all the hyped-up Gucci gear to do work. You just need something durable yet easily replaceable. We put our kit through hell during training evolutions and this rig is a basically the stuff that survived that crucible over the years. The belt itself and pad are Blackhawk. The mag pouches are from my basic loadout package and are of no name brand. They simply Velcro shut when not in use and have a plastic internal piece to keep the mags from sliding around. The large drop (olive drab) pouch is from London Bridge trading and is basically a SAW ammo pouch I use as a large utility bag. The drop-leg holster is from 5-11 and is modular detachable meaning I can swap my Glock 34 holster for my Beretta holster (when training Air Force dudes) pretty easily. The SSE roll-up drop pouch is from Tactical Assault Gear (www.tacticalassaultgearstore....) which is a veteran-owned founded company all made in the USA. Great stuff! Canteen pouch is Blackhawk. The knife is a SOG SEAL pup. I realize that gear has advanced over the years and the team at Tactical Rifleman have most likely used a variety of these items across the spectrum. Please feel free to leave constructive comments and questions below. Stay violent, my friends!

I love this dude man, his gear isn't all highspeed low drag gimmicky shit. It's just a plain ol' blackhawk belt with standard plastic clips and good ol' fashion pouches.
Couldn't ask for a better background.
"King Neptune will steal your crap." Lol
As an ex-soldier, I love this idea. Light and fast is the way to go, and it doesn’t get better than a belt. Thanks for posting this video!
I was thinking this video is interesting until he brought out the hair gel. Like you would completely have enough time to style a Curly Fade in the middle of combat right?
Hard to pay attention when there's an arsenal of AR's and AK's on the walls.
And thats only the bathroom closet.
I know Im Like a Kid in a Candy shop. Had to STOP myself from drooling 🤤🤤🇺🇸 🍀
Beyond stoked to hear a SEAL using a non MOLLE rig and using zip ties. Glad I'm not the only one going all Macgyver about it.
These are good set-up videos. No BS, just stuff that works. Gotta love a good old fashioned dummy cord. It always frustrated me to no end that Big Army was so against individual set-up of gear. Didn't take long once we were on ground for people to realize what I had been trying to tell them for months.
I liked how he delivered his hairgel joke, doesn't give a sh*t if you laughed or not.
IKR
I'm actually confused if he meant it or not.
Gotta look good, coming out of the water. 🇺🇸 🍀
@@TheMan00007 nah it was a joke

Tactical Rifleman, you guys should do a video on proper smoke deployment.... Different uses for smoke and proper deployment based upon wind and terrain..... I think this would be a really interesting video.... Thumbs up if you agree so they see it gents....
Totally loved the hair jell hit! It's good to see when branches can self inflict like that!
Hey thanks for sharing. I always like to see others set up. Not only for the functionality and mentality aspect but for the various threat situations as well.
Thanks for your service Jason. I enjoy your no BS video's.
When you look GOOD... sometimes the enemy doesn't even want to fight. Just majestic AF!!
Nice ,thank you for your service mate . Great set up .
LOL to the hairgel! Must have been hard to keep a straight face while saying that...unless you were serious
tactical veterinarian
No but I bet we'd see it in an aviator's kit.
A buddy could have snuck it in there. "Explain this one." XD
LOL. There’s no way I could’ve pulled that off without laughing.
Now, beard work...that’s critical!
#1 rule of combat: You have to look cool. #2 rule of combat: Don't get lost. #3 rule of combat: If you do get lost, refer to rule #1.

Its not just for your hair idgiots.
What do u think happens to your frogman bits when you leave 42°f degree water and hit the beach at -15°f?
Beach Shrink is no joke!
Thumbs up for anyone who actually ever had their dump pouch filled with rocks, twigs, gum wrapping, casings or dip by their buddies when he wasn't looking.
Ha.
What kind of waterproof keyboard do you recommend for the couch commandos?
RockHumper 😂😂😂😂
mechanical Roccat Roys .
Cling wrap has worked wonders for me, I cant tie a knot, so I tie a lot!
2 canteens of Mountain Dew strapped to your left side. PS4 or XBox controller strapped on your right side or whatever side your dominant arm is. Two bags of spicy Cheetos. Remember to zip tie b/c if your controller gets wet it's all over.
Haha,I didn't serve but that's hilarious man! Lol
Good information! Thanks for putting the video up. Thank you for your service.
I like the simplicity of your kits. Too many people load down their gear with non essentials or think that because there is still room that they need more kit. Great video, thank you.
Thanks for watching, TR
Curious to have a closer look at his ifak. Thanks for the vid
Thanks for that tour of your belt setup just like your plate set up simple and what the pros use .
Kudos for the perfect straight face for the Hair gel discussion! Sold it!
Excellent! thank you for sharing!
Great video well done I like the various options this channel offers. Keep em coming
Awesome presentation frogman! I never served in the armed forces but my father and two uncles served in both Korea and Vietnam, so I grew up squared away with sharp corners. I never learned any of that kind of stuff like setting up your war belt but, I think I’ve done a pretty good job of it looking at yours, and also because they hardly ever talked about their experiences over there. I’ve always wondered if you teams guys run dump pouches in a combat situation, or do you just blow and go? Thank you for your service, and welcome home, Sir. 🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓️⚓️🤘🤙☠️☠️☠️
"King Neptune will steal..." no truer words. God bless the SEALs!
Hairgel had me dead. Loved the vid thank you for your service.
That hair gel said Lube.
I thought only Corpsmen used that trick.
Mr. Morris thats seamen baseline!
Tactical lube that’s a marine thing lol
It's funny how most people tend to buy the most expensive stuff and fill their war belts and plate carriers with all kinds of stuff, all camo matched. But the guys who really operate in combat zones, only carry basic stuff, not camo matched.
Great channel, keep posting more stuff !!!
I think he was very clear that belt is his range setup. not operation. and that suggest that is his own gear not issued. If it is issued gear I'm pretty sure it is camo matched and the "expensive" shit stuff as if it is standard issue item for Special operation companies yank up the price on them.
Maybe, but in my day if you had camo pouches (Before we were given the S.P.E.A.R.) or pockets on your sleeves you/we did it ourselves, and 'operational' stuff rarely "matched" nor was parts if not most wasn't even NATO issue stuff. Seems like everything is so high speed that it is also internationally recognized. The old guys I learned from carried old French and Czech gear.
Yeah. It's funny how at least for me I'm extremely autistic about the fit and function of all the things I have on my belt. But Seals use the cheapest off the shelf walmart shit.
BAHAHAHA! BRO I WAS ISSUED DESERT BDU'S WITH OD GREEN RUCK AND CHEST RIG. NOTHING MATCHED! LOL 11B
@@TacGeek89 Actually that is not correct, you got issued stuff all the time that didn't match. You run with what works for you, not by what matches. When you say expensive stuff, you would be shocked at how much stuff you end up buying for yourself because either you weren't issued it or the stuff you were issued, sucked.
Love these videos Jay. Keep em coming.
The hair gel got me...liked video for the pure honesty of the SEAL. They truly love their hair.
Love the hair gel joke. Self deprecating humor is the best kind 💀
Just to make a point to my son on a BSA backpacking trip, I filled his pack with so many stupid things, and it was all because of experience in the ARMY, Now he checks his pack like three times before he goes out. The best was when i asked for the small AX to chop wood, and he just lowered his head and said WUD that be in my pack too? LOL
Oh and thanks for keeping us and our families safe.
Nice content in this video (as usual). Stuff I've never even thought of before.
great video. Love the addition of the hair gel!!
Nice no nonsense set up for a short operation.
Hair gel is the highlight!! Love this idea’
Thank you. I'm a new subscriber from Wyoming your videos are very educational. Thank you again
Very cool tactical war belt true warrior gear for both land and maritime operations
Thanks for watching, TR
What a great room! Info was good too, thanks.
Love those DANGER tags on rifle. Used a lot on ships.
SEAL: "Sarge! My glock engravings aren't color filled!"
FT LEAD: "ABORT MISSION!"
Interested in applying these ideas on my back pack. Respect for all military persons. I love the ideals of the special forces morales try to incorporate those habits and mentality in every day life. 👍🏾
Great background! Love it!
Good suggestions I like the emphasis on securing gear.
Won't be swimming in the ocean with it but good to know anyway.
I prefer a canteen to a bladder also for a number of reasons(other than for rinsing out after using a diving rebreather), like ease of cleaning, ease of filing from available water sources, etc.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Awesome video!!
Thanks again for the info as always. I live for your vids.
Great video man! Basic! That’s how I roll!
love gear vids, especially from seasoned operators.
Meal team 6 always needs to look good coming out around a bunch of dudes. haha
Hi, lot of nice small detail/remark about diving ops, I like it ... This kind of remark is really rare on the internet. Thx
Jason is the real deal. That's why we keep asking him back to do more videos. Thanks for watching. TR
Would love to see some vids on fitness and what some of you all do even after retirement with any chronic conditions
"king neptune will steal your crap" Lol 🤣 why am i imagining tattooed guy in a long gandalf beard and a durag going: "oh cool is that the new magpull pmag..? GIMME THAT SHIET"
That’s the sickest shack bro. Commando stylie 😍
While in SpecWar, I kept my head bald ('til this day). That eliminated the hair gel and made room for my cologne. LOL!
What makes you think he has hair? That was Anal Ease in the tube for when he has to remove the Chief's boot from his ass.
Good to go kit, keeping it light and fast. Your kit should always be mission specific, and set up the same way you train roger that..🇺🇸
This is a great video.
Never thought of zip ties but makes sense. At least for the operation.
Have a couple of the coil retention lanyards. Yes you described them perfectly not sexy but work.
Keep my leatherman on one on my range bag.
My son and I are working on some retro setups. You know retro Mossbergs and 1911’s. There’s an outfit called SARCO here in Pennsylvania carries a lot of they stuff. Got 1911 mags mag pouches holsters scabbards lanyards and even semiauto belt fed 1919’s and M2’s.
Also dump pouch. Very handy. Third hand.
Thanx for great vid.
Could we possibly see Jason go into what he has in his IFAK? Always interested in that kind of thing.
We'll add it to our next list of videos. Thanks for watching. TR.
Outstanding! Dude....Beard oil and a mini beard / mustache comb! Seriously though...Thanks so much. You guys are awesome!
Lol this guy has cross trained with the SAS didn’t go for the tennis ball or old shoe sticking to stereo type he went for the hair gel what a legend 😉👍
Interesting video. Thanks. Loved the hair gel
Love the tactical hair gel.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Great to see a frog man input here. I have been watching a lot of Rangers and SF put their videos up and I was wondering if I was crazy with what I had been taught.
Holy shit I about spit my beer out when he pulled out the hair gel and kept going with that dry, no joke tone HAHAHAHAHA. Awesome. Good on ya mate.
Lols rocks on the pack... When that prank lost its novelty in shop class, we started nailing backpacks to benches😂😂😂
I was already subscribed, but the hair gel joke made me hit the bell for all videos alerting me. Lulz were had.
Thank you posting, but more importantly...thanks for no ego, practical advice. Any advice on placement of a survival kit on belt or elsewhere? Very professional video. Thanks again for sharing.
At 4:33 he gives away John Lovell's best kept secret!
Thanks mate. Very interesting. Cheers.
Great video
Very cool, dude. Thank you
Thanks for watching, TR
Thank you for yor time.
Nice well-stocked closet.
Very informative,thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for you service brother.
Thanks for watching, TR
Great video thanks!
Love the hair gel✌️
Love how a seal carries hair gel in his kit 😂😂😂. Keep up the good vids frog man.
tv remote, extra battries, snuggie are the top 3 essentials...lol
just curious, if you zip tie things in, do you have to make the time to cut the ties after you land?
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about looking good going into a fight. What good is it if you don't look cool while kicking some butt
For you IFAC/Med Kit, if you're going in the drink I recommend putting everything in a ZipLock bag. Same thing with the stuff in your "possibles" bag.
No wonder you guys look so good with that hair gel! Great emergency fire starter?
K.I.S.S. still in use in 2018? Good! Your Belt Rig makes sense to me. Thanks for the Video. Take Care.
I ran a night shift at an IPOC for about a month. Every so often these dudes would show up with a bad guy or two. No name tapes or rank, just blood type and callsign. They would bring a beer (which was INSANE to me at the time) and make fun of, I shit you not, how short our hair was. We would laugh and bullshit and do the paperwork that had to be done. It probably wasn’t much to these guys, but for the younger guys I was in charge of, it literally meant the world.
I don’t think any of the team guys know how rough that month had been, or that we had lost two really decent guys on one of the days that they happened to come by. We all felt awful about having been assigned to the detention facility inside the fob. (The one near beyji). These guys really made thing better.
You guys really are Special. Thank You.
Thank you for your service. Strength and Honor, TR
Appreciate the insight
I wonder what kind of sunglasses would make me look cooler underwater, or in maritime ops... 😎
Carlos Barahona 😂😂😂
oakley m frames allll day
@ 2:04 HE DOESNT HAVE THE MOLLY?!?! WELL DAMN WHAT DO THESE SEALS USE TO STAY UP NIGHT AFTER NIGHT?!?!? HAHAHA JP
Anything but white frames weirdo...lol
Great stuff.
Thanks Jason Thorough and On Point Good to go. 🇺🇸 🍀
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the tips ,
I fell in love with that room
Karl does have a sweet man room.
I thought it was a gun shop
Thought so as well.
It's all about that GOPLAT lyfe bro. haha great vid
Thank you for the lesson, maybe you can help me some more by letting me know were I can get one of those retention pieces for a M4 ? I have looked and looked for one like that but always come up empty handed.
Thank You for ALL you do....
Great info. That's a lot less gel than I expected, but I guess the cool-guy ball caps are coming along on ops, too. Also, I've seen some dudes take a little bungee and set it up to look over their pistol grip as an extra retention bit.
that's actually the back-up hair gel
Hello, I love your guys channel. I was just curious if you could do a video explaining how BDC turrets work on a sniper rifle, for the scopes that still use BDC turrets. I know the idea is once a target is ranged you just dial the turret until the number on the dial matches the range, but when I hear something like "dial 10 plus 2" that just really confuses me. What do you do if you run out of match ammo and have to use bulk? How does the turret work in different climates and altitudes when the number dialed may not be accurate for the range anymore? Thank you for your time.
Thought the gel was a sensitive item?
Would have liked to see exact zip tie locations for when submerged in King Neptune's world.
