The Eagle Industries Maritime CIRAS (Combat Integrated Releasable Armor System) is one of the most iconic and battle-proven plate carriers used by U.S. forces, particularly the Marine Corps during the Global War on Terror. Designed for maritime and amphibious operations, the MC CIRAS was built around three core needs: survivability, modularity, and rapid release. First introduced in the early 2000s, the CIRAS quickly gained a reputation for its rugged durability and comprehensive load-bearing capabilities. It allowed Marines to configure their kit to suit mission-specific requirements, whether conducting raids in urban environments or patrolling through mountainous terrain. The standout feature of the Maritime CIRAS is its quick-release cable system. Hidden under a hook-and-loop flap, this system allows the entire vest to fall apart instantly when the pull handle is activated. This was a critical innovation for troops operating around water, where the ability to ditch gear in an emergency—like falling overboard or being injured—could mean the difference between life and death. Constructed from heavy-duty 1000D Cordura nylon, the MC CIRAS is built to take punishment. Its MOLLE webbing covers nearly every inch of the carrier, enabling full customization with pouches for ammunition, radios, medical kits, and hydration systems. The shoulder straps and cummerbund are heavily padded, allowing for extended wear during long patrols or sustained operations without excessive discomfort. The CIRAS also features internal compartments for soft ballistic armor, making it a true hybrid between a plate carrier and a full tactical vest. This level of protection and load-bearing capability came at the cost of weight and bulk, but for many Marines, the tradeoff was worth it in high-threat environments like Fallujah, Ramadi, or Helmand Province. While modern special operations units have largely transitioned to lighter, more streamlined plate carriers, the Eagle MC CIRAS remains a respected piece of kit. It represents a transitional era in U.S. military gear—one defined by the harsh lessons of early post-9/11 conflicts. Its presence in thousands of deployment photos, training exercises, and combat zones has cemented its place in military gear history. This video provides a close-up look at the CIRAS in Marine Corps issue coyote brown, showing how it was typically configured in-theater. If you’ve worn one, you know the weight—but also the peace of mind it brought. Whether you’re a gear collector, a reenactor, or just someone who appreciates military history, the Eagle MC CIRAS tells a story that goes far beyond its stitching and Kevlar.
