I was thinking about the same scene

Personally, I would carry more ammo and honey instead of all

Cat took somewhere over 70 kg of stuff

Well, in fact, many historians says that, concerning Operation Overlord and US troops in Omaha beach, lot of US soldiers get drowned due to the weight of their equipment.

This led to a reflection about the mobility of first wave troops and whether this whole mess was really useful for an assault section...
