Doctorofwar Posted March 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2020 Ive had an item I picked up for next to nothing at a surplus store a couple years ago that I cant identify- If anyone has any insight into what this pouch holds a battery for or any other info I would love to hear it. Since I am failing miserably with attaching pictures here is a description until I can figure the picture thing out- Rectangular shaped nylon woodland pattern pouch. 6Lx 3Dx 3.5W Reinforced with a black hard plastic stiffener on all sides but the opening flap. Opens lengthwise (long axis), flap secured with 2 metal snaps and a strip of Velcro. Pull tab on flap. 2 ALICE clips on back holds pouch vertically on its long axis, drain grommet on one (bottom) end. Sewn tag inside the flap reads: PROTOTYPE BATTERY POUCH S/N 58934-3E0-11 MANUFACTURED BY: GENTEX CORPORATION CARBONDALE, PA 18407 It appears someone cut out a neat square hole on one end (through the nylon and black plastic stiffener) about 1 square. Looks sized to pass a switch or connection through, although this wasnt factory but a later modification judging by the edges of the hole. Link to post Share on other sites

Doctorofwar Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 18, 2020 Looks like I figured out the picture thing. Hope they are worth another thousand words! Link to post Share on other sites
Baron3-6 Posted March 18, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 18, 2020 By the materials used, this dates from the mid 1990's to early 2000's.... There was a comms / camera / fighting gear system called "Land Warrior" that Gentex was involved with during this time period. Google it and see what comes up, looks like a lot of the gear was woodland BDU like this. Might find this in a picture. Afghanistan Vet OEF 10-11 - Engineer Corps US Army. Getting a medal means two things: 1. Someone saw you do it. 2. You didn't tick off the approval chain.Seeking 984th Engineer Co (Land Clearance), 36th Engineer Regt/Bde, and Sanitary Corps items from all eras. Link to post Share on other sites
Doctorofwar Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted March 18, 2020 That is a good lead, and Im still looking but everything Ive found so far associated with the Land Warrior project in woodland pattern camo appears to be MOLLE, and I havent found a pouch that looks like this.
