Answer
the second one the white gets dirty quick you should get a north face bookbag is FOR LIFE i have mine sisnce 8th grade now im in college thats my baby we been through some times

Camping for roughly a week, would I need anything else?

Inquisitiv

All of the following would be inside of or attached to a standard issue US Army ACU rucksack:
2 flashlights
3 two liter bottles of water.
Pack of D Batteries
7 changes of underwear, undershirts, socks.
4 pairs of jeans
4 long sleeve shirts
1 laundry bag
Two pairs of combat boots
Two packages of baby wipes
A small shovel
4 rolls of toilet paper
Sleeping bag
Collapsible tent

I know I'll need some sort of water cleaning kit on the off chance that when I'd run out of water I wouldn't be in an area with running water, any suggestions?

Also how much food would be needed? Assume well rationed.

Answer
You have stuff you need and stuff you don't get rid of some of the stuff (too much weight) and replace with the suggestions below.

How much food, well you answered that in your question a weeks worth, enough for one good meal a day plus trail snacks, bring freeze dried goods and MRE's and a backpacking stove and pot. Looking at your list I would leave behind the extra jeans you only need the ones you have on and a pair to change into should you get soaking wet. same with the shirts and underware. One flashlight is good and bring a lighter 2 or 3 celled AA led one instead and or a headlamp. A single 2 liter bottle is all you need providing water is available where your going get a "First need water filter kit". Only bring the boots you have on and tennis shoes for in camp. one pack of wipes is enough for a week. Leave the Laundry bag, instead use a food bag for hanging up in bear country. add a closed cell foam sleeping mat to the list and that would about complete your needs. I don't like the Army pack your planning to use there are a lot better options out there I recommend "North Face" gear. here are a couple of links with great backpacking advice
