What is the cord running across his left thigh just above the cargo pocket?

Paul, the coiled cord should be a retention lanyard for the figure's pistol.

Edit: Now that I look closely at the photos I'm not so sure. It doesn't extend all of the way to the pistol's grip.

I think it's the radio coil to the antennae on the backpack.

It may be connected to a 'D' ring for attaching to rope and extraction by helicopter. I've seen this before - not myself, mind.

My guess is safety retention lanyard for use in a helicopter.

I'd say is just a lanyard to keep a piece of gear attached to him, pistol, compass, multi tool or the like.

I don't think so... these have carabiners at the end, so I don't think these are designed to keep a piece of equipment, but rather as a personal retention lanyard.

Mario, I need new glasses (or a 300 inch monitor) I'm not seeing the carabiners

Ok. I think it's an Emerson Yates Navy SEAL Save Sling. Not sure what it's used for but found pictures online in use. The attachments look to be hidden under the front pouch and not visible due to photo angle on the back.
