Large LC-1 Field Pack Flap Pouch

LC-1 Large Pack Top Flap

This is the US Army top flap for the Large LC-1 combat field pack, the large ALICE rucksack. ALICE stands for All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment, the load-carrying system the Army fielded for decades. The flap closes over the main compartment and keeps rain and debris out of the pack. Use it to replace a torn or missing lid on a large ALICE, or to complete a period-correct kit for collecting or reenacting.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — The printed label identifies it as government contract equipment, not a commercial copy.
• Fits The Large LC-1 Pack — The label reads "Field Pack, Combat, Nylon, Large LC-1," so it is made for the large ALICE rucksack, not the medium.
• NSN 8465-01-248-0978 — The National Stock Number, the military's catalog ID for this exact part, is printed on the label so you can confirm a match.
• Nylon Construction — The flap is built from OD green nylon with cotton listed in the materials, and the fabric sheds water better than canvas.
• OD Green Colorway — Olive drab green matches the standard large ALICE pack and other LC-1 era webbing.
• Stenciled US Marking — A black "US" is printed on the face of the flap, the same marking found on issued packs.
• Bound Edges — Tape binding runs around the full perimeter to finish the seams and keep the edge from fraying.
• Webbing Attachment Loops — Sewn webbing loops on the flap give the closure straps a fixed path to run through.
• Printed Care Instructions — The label carries the Army's own hand-washing directions, which call for mild soap, shade drying and no machine laundering.

Issue Markings And Spec

The interior label reads "Flap, Pouch Field Pack" and carries contract number SP0100-03-M-EC38, along with the maker, Lion Technologies, Inc. That is the same nomenclature and stock number the Army used to supply this part through its own system. Because it was built to the issued specification, the fit and finish match the rest of a large ALICE pack. Anyone repairing their own rucksack, or collecting complete LC-1 sets, gets the correct part with documented provenance.
