The equipment that you will need depends on your task and the assets you have to complete it. In Arma it will also depend on what kind of mods you use.

Keep in mind some of the equipment is mod dependent and might not be available to you at all times.

As you can see there is a ton of equipment that can be useful in the field. And as you can probably imagine there is absolutely no way you can carry enough of everything. That’s why equipment optimalization is key when playing as RTO/JTAC. It is as important to fit your mission as it is to fit your terrain, time of day or equipment of friendlies and enemies.
