BEAST Posted November 2, 2009 Share #131 Posted November 2, 2009 I picked this one up at a local thrift shop. Wasn't sure exactly what it was but a few forum members were able to ID it for me. It is part of the USMC FROG clothing. FROG is Flame Resistant Organizational Gear and is United States Marine Corps clothing designed to reduce the number of injuries resulting from fire and flash, due to the increased use of IEDs in the Iraq War. The FROG system consists of a long-sleeve shirt, T-shirt, combat shirt, combat trousers, gloves, and a balaclava. The shirts and trousers are done in MARPAT.

I always liked the USMC FROG stuff better than the Army's Combat Shirt. The FROG is more durable, plus it doesnt have that logo right in the center of the chest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atb Posted November 2, 2009 Share #133 Posted November 2, 2009 One interesting thing to notice on CPT Larson's dcu is the use of the small US Flag on the lower left sleeve under the SSI. This was done because the 173rd was stationed in Italy and, so far as I know, NATO or Statue of Forces agreements required this flag to be worn. This is a much smaller flag than the one currently worn on the right sleeve. I was stationed in Italy in 1974-76 in the Army and we did not wear a US flag patch on our uniforms. I do not know what the Status of Forces Agreement might have specified then or now, but I think the 509th Airborne Battalion Combat Team in Vicenza did wear the small US flag under the SSI then. That was the airborne unit in Italy at that time. I have a field jacket and a "jungle" shirt from the 509th or 325th (reflagged 509th) with SETAF SSI and and a small US flag underneath.

Sabrejet Posted November 8, 2009 Share #139 Posted November 8, 2009 You added the patches or wore this? Thanks! Not unless I take out American citizenship! I wanted an ACU to add to my collection of modern US combat wear. At the time they were only just being issued to the Army, therefore there was no surplus market. So, I bought a new set from a supplier in the US and had customised name tapes patches made to order. Trouble is, ACUs have removeable patches. When the older woodland and desert BDUs came onto the surplus market they still had their patches attached. Ain't gonna happen with ACUs...hence my customised example. It's purely for display..never been worn! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
