I agree with the Army pouches Deacon which I just read that the majority were from Army stocks. didn't know about the friction tape on tags for the USMC. Good to know

MY Dad was on Guadalcanal.He said they wore more Army uniforms than Marine! Nobody really cared as long as they had clothes to wear.

the new harlan glenn book 782 gear goes over both the carbine pouches and dog tags in detail. I never realized they did that until he talks about it, now I see it every few pictures where tags are visible.

The creators of the game and the producers of the series obviously looked at photos of the airfield , because a lot of the thing you see on both of them are on these photos The buildings Here's the Betty and the staff car The knocked out tanks The Zero on the Marines side of the runway with the hangars on the background

I wonder what the hell they were thinking skipping Iwo Jima >> Because none of the characters were there.It was based on the experiences of 3 Marines,not the whole War.
