Maintenance

• Washing: Hand wash only in a pail of water using mild detergent or soap.
• Cleaning: Use a brush to scrape off dirt, but ensure it won't cut the fabric.
• Prohibited Items: Do not use chlorine bleach, yellow soap, or cleaning solvents, as they will deteriorate and discolor the material.
• Drying: Dry indoors or in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, heat, or open flames, which can damage the fibers.
• Machine Use: Do not use commercial or home-type washing machines or dryers for this carrier.

Supply Chain Notes:

• Transition: During the transition to the MOLLE II Large Rucksack in Universal Camo (ACU), the rucksack was redesigned. The sleep system area became a permanent, internal "shelf" or compartment at the bottom of the main pack itself.
• Integrated ACU/OCP Design: To find the NSN for these, you must look up the Main Field Pack/Rucksack assembly (e.g., ACU NSN: 8465-01-524-5285), as the "carrier" is no longer a separate bag.
• Alternative for OCP/ACU: If you need a separate bag in those patterns to carry a sleep system, many users utilize a Sustainment Pouch (ACU NSN: 8465-01-524-7226) for smaller items or a generic Large Compression Stuff Sack (NSN 8465-01-547-2670).
