1. M1943 Field Jacket and Trouser
The M1943 Field Uniform was the result of several years of experimentation and development by the US Army Quartermaster. It replaced the
completely inadequate M1941 Field Jacket (which was more suited to a day on the golf course than combat in the ETO.) It consisted of a 4
pocket jacket and matching trousers made from windproof sateen cotton. The uniform was designed as a layered system, meant to be worn over the
wool shirt and trouser and in conjunction with a wool sweater and liners in colder weather.
2. Combat Service Boots
Introduced in November, 1943 as a replacement for the Service Shoes.
