In the first part of 1943, the Army began flirting with a two-piece (jacket and pants) herringbone twill (HBT) camouflage uniform. Now, one thing to note is that this differed from the Marine HBT “duck hunter” or “frog skin” camo that was introduced around the time of the invasion of Tarawa as the Devil Dog kit was based on their P41 design while the Army’s was a slightly different variant based on Big Green’s M1942 fatigue uniform.

These two-piece camouflage uniforms were fielded by units of the 2nd Armored Division, including the 41st Armored Infantry Regiment and 17th Armored Engineer Battalion for D-Day. They appear in photos between June to September 1944.

Records and photos indicate that at least some units of the 2nd Infantry Division and 30th Infantry Division received them also.

The first dummy has the regular GI shirt, camouflage pants, M1 Garand ammo holder belt, M36 web, M1 Garand reproduction, M28 bag, M1 helmet, gaiters very similar to the medic above. The second dummy has much the same but adds a T shovel worn in the same way as the C-rat connoisseur Pvt. De Freitos above, and gas mask cover. The third has the full HBT suit, original camouflage pants, and jacket, M36 webbing with FM-BAR belt and charger holder. He also seems to have ditched his gaiters because he is that kinda guy.

The thing is, with so many Waffen SS guys and German Fallschirmjäger wearing camo smocks, the idea of GIs in camo proved unpopular and they were soon withdrawn from the ETO.

However, the material, especially that of discarded parachutes, was recycled by the locals.

...

Meanwhile, in warmer climes​

Some U.S. Army units were issued some of the two-piece HBTs in the Pacific late in the war.


...


Many of the Army’s surplus HBT went on to be donated to French forces such as was seen operating in French Indochina, and the Dutch trying to pacify their East Indies archipelago.

The Bay of Pigs gang, Brigade 2506, used a lot of surplus WWII U.S. gear including M1941 Johnson rifles and duck hunter camo.
 
Lest We Forget

I'd forgotten about this figure because I didn't pre-order him. :lol

I was considering him as Army in the Pacific to accompany Facepool's upcoming Marine, Sledgehammer. But there's something unappealing about this one.

Someone on BBICN calculated that either the figure was a giant, or the Garand too short. I never looked into that.
