Near-future US Ranger loadout

Hi, I'm going to run a scenario where the players are going to be US Rangers, but I'm a bit unsure about their loadout, especially amount of ammo, grenades, food and water and so on. I'm not even sure about how many rangers they should be, logically or what a squad consists of. Having no experience with any of this myself I call for help here as I know many on here are experts on this :)

Set setup is near future 10-20 years into the future, that assumes that the Future Force Warrior-project has been implemented. Its early TL:9.

Civil war has broken out in Cambodia with a resurface of the Red Khmers and is spilling out into nabouring countries and with an attack on an American base near the Cambodia/Vietnam border is is decided to send "do something" and the war has been going on for some years now. A military factory has been discovered deep inside enemy lines, and it's suspected that its going to produce chemical weapons of mass destruction. Tactical strikes won't work as it's build into (or under) a mountain.

The mission is a short one. Drop down, form up, assault and destroy the facility, lift out again. They are expected to be dropped down a few hours march from the facility and be lifted out again within (maybe?) 12 hours.

So far I have planned the following:
Interceptor BA12 (TL:9 tactical vest) with Traumaplates.
M12 helmet (TL:9 helmet), with HUD, nightshades and headset com-link.
M9 knife-bajonet (fine, large knife)
MR-C 6.8mmCL (TL:9 assault carbine) [x5 mags]
-Built-in 40mm grenadelauncher [X3 grenades]
Fragmentation grenade (TL:9 64mm) [x3]
Smoke grenades [x1]
Basic first aid kit (incl. one shot of morfine)
Gasmask.
Small Backpack including personal basics, compass, matches, small lighter, pocket knife, notebook, pen, bug-spary, signal mirror, water purification tablets.

How much water, food would be included, what else?
They are going to blow up the base how much explosive would they bring?
What would a unit consist of? How many rangers would be send?
Any help is appreciated.
