How fast can a soldier run in full gear?

A soldier in full gear typically runs at a reduced speed compared to their unencumbered pace. While a well-conditioned soldier might run at speeds of 6 to 8 miles per hour (about 9.7 to 12.9 kilometers per hour) in full combat gear, this can vary based on the weight of the gear, terrain, and individual fitness levels. The added weight and bulk of body armor, weapons, and other equipment can significantly impact speed and endurance.
