Vintage Vietnam War 1968 US Army Nylon Tropical Rucksack W/ Frame Green. No rips or tears. 2 Buckles have the tab broken but they are still functional.
The standardized Tropical Rucksack featured an OG-106 nylon pack with three outside pockets mounted on a spring steel X-frame. The outside pockets and the main compartment were provided with removable waterproof treated nylon liners, though these were often poorly coated and prone to leak. The map pocket inside the top flap did not have a liner but the underside was waterproofed. The outside pockets had strap and buckle adjustable closures and snap fasteners for quick access, whilst Velcro sealed the map pocket.
Webbing equipment hangers were located around the top of the bag and tie straps were positioned on each side of the pack. In addition, two loops were provided on the bottom of the rucksack and two on each side for attaching extra items.
