From Spartacus:A soldier needs a lot of gear for accomplishing different missions. This gear will be sorted into different layers so the soldier isn't carrying all of it all the time.

Some of it may be in a medium-sized backpack that can be carried from mission to mission but temporarily discarded for actions on the objective.
