The Marine Corps M1941 pack evolved from an experimental model developed during 1940 by a board of NCO's from the 5th Marines and consisted of a haversack, knapsack, blanket roll and a pair of suspenders. These components could be assembled in numerous configurations, including:

• Light Marching Pack: Haversack only
• Marching Pack: Haversack and Suspenders
• Field Marching Pack: Marching Pack plus short Blanket Roll
• Transport Pack: Marching Pack plus Knapsack
• Field Transport Pack: Transport Pack plus long Blanket Roll

The 1941 USMC haversack design featured a roll-top rather than the original standard flap and was produced into the late 1960's. It had a blanket roll strap on the top, a side bayonet attachment and a cartridge belt supporting strap at the bottom. The haversack also had a pair of eyelets on the top flap that were designed for attaching an intrenching tool cover.

This is a Vietnam Era accessory that is often overlooked or forgotten about in most Vietnam Era Collections.
