The M-2 Ammunition Bag (or Vest as some call it). It was used by both the Army and the Marines. Its primary intended function was to carry packaged 60mm and 81mm mortar ammunition, although it was often used for other load bearing purposes as well.
Last Photo is a image of a Marine mortar crew up to their knees in mud on Bougainville. The first guy in line is carrying an M-2 bag.
