30% of body weight?? When I was on a Team, that would have given me about a 50# ruck. Mission load was a lot higher than that - closer to my body weight until we hit the ORP and could cache some gear.
I guess it would work for non CA troops though, except the fat boys would suffer intense pain, hehehehehe. Move, shoot, communicate - not always in that order.
