Depends on your unit, the mission, etc but typically the gear is along these lines:

Weapons,

M4 (and variants including mws, a1, etc)

M16 (usually A4 mws)

M14 (m25 conversion, EBR conversion, usually marksmen only)

M249 (and variants)

M240B

M203 (generally attached to m4 or m16 but standalone versions exist)

AT4

LAW

M67

Special purposes grenades such as smoke, white phosphorus (incendiary, NOT SMOKE LIKE BLACKTOPS NOOBS MIGHT THINK) ,colored signal smoke

Gear from top to bottom,

ACH with camouflage cover

NVG mount (sometimes with NVG set)

Eye protection

Neck gaiter

IBA or IOTV (depends on unit, my 19D buddy wore a custom stitched PC in his tours)

Applicable attachments for body armor, neck, deltoid, groin protectors etc

Load bearing vest or pouches attached to armor system.

Combat uniform.

Belt (many kinds exist, most are authorized)

Elbow and knee pads

Hydration system

CBRN protective mask

Gloves

Ruck or assault pack

Boots (all kinds, in ACU most 8" tan colored ones are authorized, although Danner 6" are issued with MC)

There's all kinds of other stuff, but that's a general idea if what gear is carried.
