From the outbreak of the Second World War, the US Armed forces started to actively prepare for what they saw as their inevitable entry into the conflict. Nevertheless, they were still relatively ill prepared when they were finally drawn into the war on December 7th 1941, following the surprise attack by the Japanese on the US naval base at Pearl harbour.
Here we will see how the American G.I. was equipped by the time of 1944 on D-Day.

They were one of two divisions to storm Omaha with the rangers on D-Day. I just felt I'd include this as they deserve more recognition

Slight correction: If you are a reenactor that wants to portray a unit that was among the first 3 waves that landed on Omaha Beach (first wave of those who landed on Utah Beach as well), scrap the haversack and suspenders and try to find an accurate looking D-Day assault vest. These vests were meant to be issued to all Americans who were to land on DDay but they couldn’t get enough vests to issue to all of the infantrymen.

The backpack was not the doughboy backpack. WW1 was the M1910 pack, WW2 was the M1928 pack. Grenades were not worn on the backpack. The Gas Mask bag was often used for other things than a gas mask once troops realized Germany wasn't gassing us. The backpacks were not left behind. The packs were kept.

The 3 pocket grenade pouch was never intended to carry 2 grenades per pocket. The pockets were made longer than necessary for carrying a single frag grenade so that longer types such as smoke grenades could be carried. Some post-war replicas have been made even longer to accommodate 2 frag grenades, but the actual wartime pouches were strictly one grenade per pocket.

Would've loved to see how much the D Day soldiers kit cost in comparison with the modern soldiers kit. Great video!
