In the field, in Korea, we (USN Corpsmen) were outfitted with 782 Gear, .45 automatic pistol model 1911A1 with two extra magazines, holster and a box of ammo. Thermo boots, field boots and all the other clothing and foul weather gear a Marine had. An M-1 Rifle, with ammo and a bayonet, and a K-Bar knife. Web belt and all the stuff you can hang on it, but always a canteen, containing chlorinated water for washing wounds. Sometimes, rifle grenades and launchers could be had. The first aid kit was carried in the rear to keep from being identified as a Corpsman by the gooks. Never any identifying red crosses or serum albumin cans (a blood volume expander) taped to the helmet, as you might see in the movies. Grenades, we kept in our pockets, or hung by a spoon on an outside strap (I never hung them on a strap). We liked concussion grenades, for tossing into trenches and bunkers, and they weren't as dangerous as fragmentation grenades.
