Abstract:

A Modified Suspender for the pack, field, cargo, and combat, M-1944 was designed. Its novel characteristics are 1 inclusion of a strap crossing the chest 2 provision of a means for rapid removal of the pack 3 simplicity of both general design and of adjustment for size and 4 independent suspension of the cartridge belt. Both field and laboratory tests demonstrated that the chest strap improves the carry of the pack, does not interfere with respiration, and aids in the elimination of axillary compression by the suspenders.
