Default military equipment - 04-28-2003, 02:17 PM

i have been watching news and i have noticed that i have been able to tell the difference between the army and usmc on tv. besides the division insignia on the army helmets and marines new camo i mean. Upon further "investigation" i noticed that a majority of the Army kevlar helmets have the night vision goggle rack thing, where-as the usmc kevlars helmets with the night vision thin arent as common. i also noticed that the army seems to have a diff style of kevlar vests than the marines. the army ones have like 5 straps, where the usmc ones seem to have velcrow down the front. I know in vietnam marines used diff flack jackets than the army-do they still use different flack vests?

so my basic question is are army and marines issued different gear? thanks
