The Experience Gained At The Tarawa Campaign Changed The Design Of The Marine Combat Uniform.
In March 1944, The P-44 Set Was Officially Released. The Feature Of This Uniform Is To Carry The Necessary Combat Equipment As Much As Possible, So There Are More Pockets For The P-44, And It Also Becomes Structurally Complicated. There Were Large Pockets On Each Side Of The Front Placket Of The Jacket, The Left Breast Has A Rectangular Pocket With A Pocket Cover, And The Words Usmc Printed On It. There Is A Button Under The Collar To Facilitate The Installation Of A Gas Masks Hood If Necessary. Its Cuff Has A Metal Button And Two Buttonholes To Tighten The Cuff. Its Color Of P-44 Is Darker And More Profound Than P41.
Compared To P-41, There Is No Doubt That The P-44 Is Excellent And Advanced In Design. However, Due To The Late Release, P-44 Was Not Widely Used. It Was Not Until 1945 That The Battle Of Iwo Jima Was Deployed In Small Numbers, Many Marines Wore Their Old P-41 Uniforms Until The End Of World War Ii.
