robinb Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share #26 Posted November 26, 2012 This entry is important to the 14-280 bag question. It calls for one bag for plasma. And there are 8 units of plasma. I don't know exactly what size a unit of plasma is, but I don't think it would be possible to fit 8 of them into a Hospital Corps Pouch, Small.

uplandmod Posted November 26, 2012 Share #27 Posted November 26, 2012 Incredible list! I own a corpsman jumper from a sailor on the USS Darke, this is very helpful in learning more of his equipment. Leonardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share #28 Posted November 27, 2012 Here's a picture of one plasma unit. There is no way that 8 of these woud fit in a Hospital Corps Pouch, Small. But they sure would fit in a Case, Canvas, Carrying, stock number 14-280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share #29 Posted December 11, 2012 I saw four 14-280 bags yesterday at our local flea market. I sure got excited until close inspection found that all were ruined by some civilian owner. Full of holes, missing parts, and paint spilled on some of them. One even had a 3rd USMC Division patch painted on the side in red and yellow. It made me sick to have to pass on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsystem4 Posted December 27, 2012 Share #30 Posted December 27, 2012 Robin are you going to publish any of this documentation you have found? I would like to get copies of those equipment lists so i can better identify my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne Posted December 27, 2012 Share #31 Posted December 27, 2012 Hello Robinb, very interesting topic ... I think most readers dont' post because they are simply learning from you I read somewhere that the corpsman bag was supplied empty, with the USN MD general supplies, just to be filled with what was available and necessary at the moment.

robinb Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share #32 Posted December 30, 2012 I've found the answer to the missing stock number question. It was right here on the Forum the whole time in the field gear reference section. The stock number for the Hospital Corps Pouch, Large is 3-555.

robinb Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share #33 Posted December 30, 2012 And the stock number for the Pouch, Hosptial Corps, Small is 3-560. Now can we please stop calling these pouches the 14-280? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share #34 Posted December 30, 2012 And while I'm at it, we can all stop calling the USMC Parachutist bag the S14. that's not the whole title for that pouch. It's the S14-075 First Aid, Paratroop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paj Posted January 9, 2013 Share #35 Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Robin, thanks for posting the info from the APA medical equip regs. I have a similar unit to the 14-280, but it is a 14-243 (a field medical unit 103 according to the manual). I have been looking for info on the unit 103 for years, but came up dry. Does the manual go into any specifics as to what was to be packed in each case? I have case 3 of 6. Thanks again for sharing this information!

Mystery solved. Now somebody just needs to relay this information to a certain author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share #39 Posted January 10, 2013 "Does the manual go into any specifics as to what was to be packed in each case?" Thanks for adding your Unit 103 to my post. It's the first one that I have seen. I posted the list of Unit 103 items as you can see, but there is no list of what goes in each of the 6 parts of the set. I don't have any more information.

etienne Posted January 15, 2013 Share #40 Posted January 15, 2013 Thanks, Robinb, for educating us about Hospital Corps pouches ... I won't speak for others, but it's really very interesting and well documented. So now I have a 3-555 pouch in my collection ... I really need a 3-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you have the bag, you just need to fill the case E I have 7 of these bags now. There is not much consistency between them. Different buckles, width of shoulder straps, color, materials. and even the size varies from bag to bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
