[FRANKKASSEL]

I have a ton of these military straps does anyone know what they are or what they are used for? Shorter strap is about 12 inches . Longer strap is roughly 18 to 20 inches.

They were issued by the bucket full for every use imaginable...

Tie-downs for medic type stretchers in vehicles?

They look like the one's we used to secure canvas to the back of trucks and trailers.

We'd get a big canvas collapsible bucket of just straps issued with the M113 and there would be a selection of everything in it. These short wide, long thin, long wide...everything. Looked like a bucket of green snakes... They could be applied where they were required.
