I was doing some research regarding the USMC 1941 gear. Specifically the official way to set up a 1941 pack is to have the pack straps integrated with the web suspenders so that the pack, belt and suspenders all work togeather and that it would be difficult to dump the pack quickly.
My question is would it be common or unusual for a Marine to rig up his 1941 pack so that he would be able to remove it without also removing his cartridge belt and suspenders.
Looking at the 1941 system it seems that it would be possible and when I was in the Army we used the ALICE system which allowed a soldier to quickly dump his pack.
