Actually the TV is being issued by Area not Reg then reserve. Depending on your Area's plan, it may dictate the priority for issue of the TV.

the "Buttpack" will come, in due time, thats part of the small pack system, it encorparates small pouches that can also attach to the TV and the New ruck that is set to come out as well somewhere in the future.
as for the magpouches, maybe they should be able to hold 2 mags, but then again what is the battle load fo a C7 rifleman? according to the PAM its 5 X 30 rdmags and a 100 round bandolier. 1 mag on the weapon, 4 in the pouches,. if the time comes that u do need to hold extra mags, u have 13 pockets on youre combat uniform alone, let alone all the pouches on ure tacvest. could they have made it to hold two mags each? yes, but then uve got mags that flop around when u only have 1 mag in each, just my two cents worth ,
Posthumane said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the TV have daisy chains running all the way down the back? Doesn't this mean then, that one could easily attach an aftermarket buttpack to the vest quite easily? It's not hard to make a pack that attaches nicely to daisy chains. Just a thought from a guy who doesn't have the TV yet... 41bde, might have to wait a while.

as for my own opinion on it, so far i like it, alot better then webbing (mind you i didnt have webbing for very long 8 months including SQ and BIQ) i find the webbing was ok, apart from the pouches that would occasionally fall off, but nothing that couldnt be fixed with a few zapstraps, i found webbing worked best when you used it with a flak vest, stayed where u wanted it on ure back rather then flopping somewhat around, i havent had that problem with the tacvest, and i found that section attacks with the TV were ALOT easier, no more buttpack at ure neck in the prone, also no pouches falling off. has alot more pockets then the webbing, so you can sort your gear alot better. I attached my Peacekeeper hydration pack to the back of my TV(with homemade fastex daisystraps) on Ex's to hold my water(carry my canteen anyways tho, who knows when the hose will break off or sumthing malfunctions on youre hydration pack )you can also attach the Peacekeeper Large pack to the back of the Tacvest if you need more load carriage. once again just my 3 cents,
