- Securely mount the pouch by correctly weaving all four MOLLE straps through the platform's webbing.
- Insert magazines fully into the elastic pockets, establishing a consistent orientation for muscle memory.
- Draw magazines with a firm, straight, upward pull to overcome the friction retention.
- Conduct a pre-mission function check by inverting the loaded pouch to verify retention.
- Use a dump pouch for partial magazines, as re-indexing into the high-tension elastic is slow and difficult under stress.
- Store the pouch empty to prevent premature stretching and degradation of the elastic.
