Found a few of these at the local Army Navy...with a contract date of 1972...

never seen em before, assuming they are for MP use... 

the ammo box is full of black climbing spikes...no markings on em

Utilized quite often on ranges by Cadre, Safety Officers, Instructors, etc.  During an assignment at USMC School of Infantry we used white painted helmet bands/ranger bands.  I'm sure they've been used for other functions but live fire ranges is certainly one of them.

I remember them on Range Safety Personnel and Road Guards on tactical road marches. Being a pervious MP I never saw them used in any way by duty MPs.

Just a high visibility band.  Oh, also saw “evaluators” use them on field exercises to denote them as not being friendly or bad guy forces.
