The IIFS (Individual Integrated Fighting System)[1] was introduced in 1988, to serve as a fighting (arms, ammunition etc.) and existence (food, first aid, etc.) carrying system—a possible replacement for the All-purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment[2] employed and fielded by United States Armed Forces since 1973.

The IIFS replaces the partially obsolete concept of a shoulder harness, in the style of suspenders, and individual equipment belt design, with the newer concept of a tactical load bearing system that employs a vest. The vest as being the main component, is known as the TLBV (Tactical Load Bearing Vest), sometimes referred to as the LBV-88, the M-1988 LBV and later known as the ETLBV (Enhanced Tactical Load Bearing Vest).
