The present Kit was introduced in 1944, and proved an immediate success with the troops (both Army and Marines would use it); its Container hooked into the eyelets of either the Pistol or Cartridge Belts, was within easy reach of the wearer, and could be opened or closed by two press studs; contents were sometimes modified by the owner, depending on his personal taste and\/or foresight. The M-2 Individual Medical Jungle Kit was only manufactured in olive-drab canvas; it was supplied to each soldier fighting in jungle areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe items in this kit are NOT SUITABLE FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL USE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43186964136005,"sku":"ONSV25OAC340","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV25OAC340__01.jpg?v=1753441591","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-wwii-m2-jungle-medical-aid-kit-unissued-in-original-box-by-w-k-mfg-co-dated-1943","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
