Clipped to the ALICE belt via its snap-on cover, it kept soldiers hydrated across jungles, deserts, and urban battlefields from Vietnam through Somalia, the Gulf War, and into Afghanistan and Iraq. The canteen and its cover are an absolute must for any US Army or Marine Corps build spanning the 1970s to early 2000s. 3D printed products may require minor post-processing.
