Officially, a Marine rifleman carries 180 rounds and a SAW gunner carries a 200 round drum while his A-gunner has 400 rounds for the SAW plus a spare barrel and his own weapons and ammo. Realistically, everyone carries more ammo and the SAW gunner carries all of his own crap.

IF a soldier has a M2O3 attached to his gun, how many shells do they have on them? And do they carry frag grenades or no?

To the original poster, since you asked and probably do not know:
M= Mission, E= Enemy, T= Terrain & weather, T= Troops & fire sppt avail and -T= Time.
As Erick said, these ALL factor into your loadout. Besides, you may also be carrying unit gear, i.e.: litters, ladders, breaching equip., 60mm mortar rounds, and any other shoulder and back breaking gear in order to finish the job.
