9.Pack adapter strap. From manual

a.Description. The olive drab cotton webbing pack adapter strap (9) is an item of organizational equipment compatible only with the individual load carrying equipment. It consists of two narrow, 321^-inch long straps joined at one end of a wide, T^-inch long web band, designed to accommodate the field pack. A bar buckle and a snap hook are attached to each strap.

b.Principle of use. The pack adapter strap permits the field pack to be attached to the suspenders at 'a position high enough on the individual's back to provide lower space for carrying additional items of equipment, such as canteens and first aid kits, on the pistol belt. The adapter strap also allows the field pack to be carried high enough on the back to permit the carry of heavy loads, such as mortar base plates, ammunition, or radios.

De adaptor is het tussenstuk tussen de suspender en de riem. Dit stuk zorgt ervoor dat de fieldpack hoger op de rug komt te hangen zodat er weer plaats vrijkomt om de riem zelf. Hier kan men dan extra veldflessen ed. aan bevestigen. Op sommige periodieke foto's ziet men manschappen lopen met 2 buttpacks.
