Greensiding... as in "Greenside" (as opposde to "Blackside").

Greenside Ops are typically "deep reconnaissance" type missions (the specifics of which will vary depending on the branch performing it); stealth is the name of this game. e.g., various recon, forward observation, damage assessment, etc. where contact with the enemy is avoided.

Blackside Ops are Direct Action missions and are typically the setups we see in pictures. Full armor, lots of weapons and even more ammo. Being small and stealthy isn't as much of a concern as being fast and packing a whopper of a punch.


So to go back to the topic at hand, if your goal is to make yourself stealthy, a DA type loadout isn't your best option. Less will be more in that case.
