Combat Seat? - stanc - 11-12-2015
Something I've never seen before.

At the beginning of the video there is a soldier wearing on his backside what I initially took to be a hard armor plate. (Later on, more soldiers can be seen with a similar arrangement.) I thought that seemed like an odd place to be carrying armor.
However, it appears I was mistaken about it being body armor. Judging by the segment at 13:27-13:33, it looks like the "armor plate" is actually a seat pad to allow the soldier to sit on the ground without getting his butt cold/wet/muddy...
P.S. At one point they sure made a lot of use of their UBGLs, like a mini artillery battery (8:15-10:44). "Okay, guys. Let's fire off all of these grenades so we don't have to keep lugging them around."

Some turkey hunting vests have a seat like that. It makes a big difference if you have to sit still on cold/wet ground, although there are obviously other alternatives.

you could probably just cut up and old closed cell foam sleeping mat and chuck it in the top of your pack?
or buy one for $8 from ebay
