Republic Systems – Pattern 26 Short Ruck & Combat Support Duffel

The team at Republic Systems banded together to create their Pattern 26 Load Carriage Platform. They took the parts of ALICE that worked, the modern capabilities, materials, and open market, and the simplicity of the SADF pattern 70, SADF Pattern 83 and the M1928 Systems.

The first item from Republic Systems’ Pattern 26 Load Carriage Platform is the Short Ruck which is compatible with the venerable ALICE frame.

The idea behind the pack is that it is shorter than the frame, leaving room to lash equipment to the top. Republic Systems created the Combat Support Duffel for just this purpose.

The Combat Support Duffle is a sleep carrier that can also act as a haversack and a slung duffle. The sleep system isn’t always needed and takes up space in the bottom of the ruck.

With the 2 inch webbing on the top lid of the pack and the same spaced webbing on all of their pattern 26 pouches, bags, and items, you can use a 1 inch strap with any standard ITW 1″ Hardware to lash items directly to the lid of your bag such as 10L Jerry cans, Pelican cases, padded optics cases, drones, tools, and so on.

In short it’s a simple stupid, universal platform that gives the flexibility to guys to use their packs and load carriage however they need to.

Available in Coyote, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.
