Soldier covering himself with a poncho liner (2012) A poncho liner (often referred to as a woobie), [1] is a piece of field gear originating in the United States military that can be attached to a standard issue poncho to provide additional warmth, as well as being usable as a blanket, sleeping bag or protective cover.
Often, most Marines receive simply a woolen liner and leather shell, however, those who require more specialized gloves are issued them (cold weather, hazmat, Mechanix brand, etc.). The Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform has built-in slots for knee and elbow pads, but many Marines prefer to purchase their own pads.
The most recognizable part of the uniform is the standardized field jacket. It was longer than the M-1941 jacket, coming down to the upper thighs, had a detachable hood, drawstring waist, two large breast pockets and two skirt pockets. It was colored olive drab shade no. 7 (OD7), a darker and greener shade than the previous field jacket. [1]
The M-1951 field jacket was based on the M-1943 field jacket. [2] The M-1951 was given snap fasteners instead of buttons and an aluminium zipper.Earlier issue M-1951s had larger, brown buttons like on the M-1943, and later jackets had smaller brown, then green buttons as used on the M-1965 field jacket and later OG-107 fatigues.
This differed from the Smock, Windproof, DPM in that it had button-on rank tabs on the chest and back, as well as a wire 'stiffener' for the hood. The general issue Combat Soldier 95 combat jacket followed this pattern, but omitting the rank tab on the back which tended to snag on rucksacks, camouflage netting and so forth.
Tesla has issued a recall for more than 1.8 million vehicles after it received reports that the hoods on some were unintentionally popping open.
