eaglerunner88 Posted November 21, 2021 Share #52 Posted November 21, 2021 So is it the consensus that only the larger M43 packs which were designated for the ETO actually made it there while the smaller OD jungle packs never did? I only just found out about this distinction in the two packs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely yes, never seen any survivors or trace of jungle packs being used in the ETO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglerunner88 Posted November 21, 2021 Share #54 Posted November 21, 2021 Thanks Johan. So it's my understanding that the camo jungle pack came first for Army (and some Marine) use early in the PTO, quickly followed by the OD version where "jungle" camo wasn't necessary. Does anyone know which Army units in the Pacific widely used the OD pack and where specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
