Answer:

as a motif

Explanation:

The author uses the weight of the soldiers' gear to create a motif that helps illustrate the inner state of the characters: by listing every material thing they carried with its weight, a sense of physical heaviness is created, to then introduce the psychological/spiritual weight of the things they are actually carrying in their minds.
