It's a lot of stuff. I just came off an exercise where all I had was a ruck satchel, back pack and my tac-vest and it barely fit into the car. Ruck had to go onto the passenger seat.

That is day to day stuff though. If deployed you would not be expected to get all that shit where you were going. It would be shipped for you. Not unless things have changed dramatically. Now mind you my last years were spent as Navy and an Officer so there was very little I had to lug around anyway so my experiences may no longer be accurate.
