it could be adjusted in length from both ends. The M1956 belt was initially produced with a ball-type buckle, however from 1967 it was also available with a quick-release ‘Davis’ T-slot fastener.
With the weight taken by the
M1956 suspenders
the belt was used to carry a
field pack
,
ammunition pouches
,
canteen covers
etc.
