MOLLE is an Army and Marine Corps item that replaces the aging ALICE (All-purpose, Lightweight, Individual Carrying Equipment) pack and Integrated Individual Fighting System introduced in 1988.
Tactical: MOLLE is the bread and butter of the tactical world, as this is the usage for which it was always originally intended. That also means that the majority of MOLLE-ready pouches, equipment, and tools fall in line with tactical intended usage.
Simply put, MOLLE describes gear layered with rows and columns of webbing, allowing the adaptation of the gear to specific and variable purposes. The equipment is entirely customizable to suit a particular mission or circumstance.
