The poncho we carried is shown folded in half. The hood for the head extends to the right. The majority of the time we used this for making our hooches at night. Since most of us rolled our air mattress and poncho liner in the poncho and intern fastened it to our packs when it did rain we simply got wet.



Pictured is the air mattress we carried. Sitting on top is a folded poncho liner. There is not one infantry, doughboy or footsoldier from earlier wars who would have not loved to have had one of these. Truly a luxury item for us Grunts. Besides being soft it kept you off the ground about 6 inches and that helped mentally. If you laid on top and moved or shuffled about it was noisy. That factor alone prevented some units from not using it.



The poncho liner is shown folded in half. Note the camouflage pattern




With the air mattress placed on top of the poncho and the poncho liner/blanket intern on top of that. You would roll it all together as tight as you could and then fasten it to your pack. As mentioned elsewhere here at the Delta Comp. diary everyone packed their gear up the way they wanted so methods varied. The photo left shows the 3 pieces ready to be rolled up.
