I don't know if I should laugh or cry, I really don't.
I said 30 pounds or more, which will be their uniform, boots, load carrying gear, and bergen. In all likelyhood, it probably weighs closer to 50 pounds, but lets stick with 30.
Now, go stick 30 pounds on, boots, bergan and all, and go jump in a swimming pool.
It was nice knowing you...

You said you can swim with over 30 pounds of equipment for 20 minutes.
******* Nothing is impossible. Did you see him drown?
I just searched to see what I could find test wise for lifeguards, and the closest thing I found was diving into a pool with a 9 pound weight, which you can remove.
Take note of the depth of a swimming pool compared to the sea, and 9 pounds compared to over 30.

1-Infantry don't train at sea or deep water, especially Airbone
2-It's true that it's tough for a poor infantryman to get rid of his stuff, but the packsack is the easier part...
3-Well, those kind of boat wouldn't flip easily, and soldier rarely fall from it, yeah btw, there's no country wearing floating equipement when training with combat gear.
4-Combat gear are rarely weight over 25lb without rifle. I take my exemple, my combat vest weight maybe 2,5lb, 3lb for the canteen, 2 lb for 2 hand grenade, 7lb for the food and plate,10lb for ammunition, 2lb for a radio and etc... So a typicall combat load + a pack sack will be in the 50lb

The trick is to always keep your self in motion even if its slow dont ever stop once you stop if hard to start up agin put your weight foreward that helps
Yes, I can swim.
Yes, combat units do use flotation devices, they are handy in preventing highly trained individuals from wasting their life drowning.
No, you can not swim with full combat equipment, and no flotation device.
Yes, you may get your gear off in time if your lucky, but I doubt your chances.
