New frame, same fight; Infantry Marines test durability, load-bearing capabilities of Military Light Frame

Marines with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, initiated a limited user evaluation (LUE) of the Military Light Frame (MLF), a new load-bearing option designed to improve comfort and mobility without sacrificing durability, on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., July 15, 2025. For the next nine months, representatives from Combat Support Systems (CSS) will work closely with the unit, collecting feedback on the frame’s performance during training and real-world scenarios. In the coming weeks, Marines will put the system through its paces during exercises in Bridgeport, California, and at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.
