Before Afghanistan the doctrine was 5 mags(4 in your webbing and 1 in the rifle) is all you need an the rest of the ammo would be clipped. And the Tac Vest was designed after that. An well we got into a real shooting war(Afghanistan) and now 10 magazines is what you get there. An like I said some people acquire more.
As to how many mags you carry in your rig, is upto you/unit SOP. Sometimes I went out with all 10 mags in my chest rig, other times I'd take out 2 mags an put them in my backpack so I could have another pouch to put water/gatorade in.
