Two bandoleers each and bayonets fixed. Just finished writing a piece on combat loads in Korea for the Fall GCA
Journal, and that's standard. Some really surprising info in the survey interviewing 600 combat vets in late 1951. BTW I used that photo in the article.

Contrary to popular belief, the bayonet was not obsolete. The vets reported 150 different bayonet engagements between July 1950 and October 1951.
Real men measure once and cut.
