60lb of what? 

This is your regular combat uniform:

Body armor: 16lb

M4 Carbine: 6.30lb

Camelback with water

You're completely wrong. 60lbs of gear is the minumal amount they carry. http://www.protonex.com/blog/what-do-soldiers-carry-and-whats-its-weight/ 

Look the shit up from other sources if you don't believe me. 

Look bro, that's a checklist for a 72hr mission.

1. Army doesn't wear ITOVs, it was tested and the soldiers hated it. Still wear modified IBAs. That's around -14lb off your list.

2. Soldiers don't Ruck march, unless they're going to a remote zone that's difficult for vehicles to penetrate.  That's -20 to -30lb off your list.

3. Why would soldiers carry 16lb of batteries during regular patrols?

There's a reason the army attaches every brigade with a logistic unit.
