History:
The ALICE system was the end result of the LINCLOE program (Lightweight Individual Clothing And Equipment). The LINCLOE program was started in March of 1965 at the request of the WECOM (US Army Weapons Command) for a 30-round magazine pouch or carrier for use with the U.S. M16A1. The LINCLOE program explored and developed lightweight uniforms and equipment for U.S. troops in upcoming conflicts and its findings led to the adoption of the ALICE system in January of 1973. The adoption of the ALICE system resulted in the immediate termination of the LINCLOE program.
