Pouch Ranger

US Military Combat Equipment (1990's)?

What did US infantrymen/rangers wear along with their BDU's during combat such as in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia and Operation Just Cause at Panama?
Specifically,
Type of body armor, if you wear ALICE web gear with the armor, placement of mag pouches, ect. on the body armor. Pictures can help.
Please and thank you.

In the Early 90s the United States Military wore the PASGT system. PASGT stands for Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops. Its actually not Bulletproof, just a flak vest, albeit a good one. Heres a link to look at it:

In the late 90s/early 2000s they switched over to the interceptor system which is what is still being used today. It's bulletproof and comes with the actual kevlar vest, sapi insert plates, and a O.T.V which stands for Outer tactical vest, which has allitle protection value itself. Heres a link to see that:
