How to Configure the MOD Placard for Your Chest Rig

Quick Answer

Attach the MOD Placard to your chest rig by routing MOLLE straps through the rear slots, starting from the center and working outward, then tension evenly to prevent shifting.

MOD Placard Attachment Steps

1. Identify the attachment points: Lay your chest rig flat and locate the MOLLE columns on the front panel. The MOD Placard has a series of horizontal slots on its rear face that align with these columns. Check that the placard's slots line up with the rig's rows before you start weaving.
2. Route the first MOLLE strap from the center: Start with the center column. Push the MOLLE strap through the rig's webbing, then through the placard's slot from the inside out. Pull it almost all the way, leaving a small loop. Keep the strap flat—twisted straps cause uneven tension and a crooked placard.
3. Weave the remaining straps outward: Work from the center to the edges, routing each strap through the corresponding slots. Maintain consistent slack so the placard sits evenly. Do not tighten each strap fully until all are routed; this allows adjustment for alignment.
4. Tension the straps evenly: Starting from the center again, pull each strap tight in sequence. Re-tighten the first ones after you finish the last—this prevents the placard from shifting under load. A common mistake is overtightening one side first, which twists the placard. Re-check after a few minutes of wear.
5. Secure the excess strap: Fold the loose ends back and tuck them under the webbing or use a strap keeper. This prevents snagging and keeps a low profile. If excess strap is left loose, it can catch on gear or vehicles—always tuck it away.
