On paydays in Panama they had us dressed up in class B's (dress uniform without the jacket). Brassard was black with white letters, with full-color unit patch (or flag, again, depending on the post). Doing LEA they carried a pistol belt, sometimes a nice Bianchi(sp?), sometimes the crummy old GI web belt. That depended on whether or not the unit had the nice belts for LEA activities. The belt usually held a pistol, club, radio, pepper spray, hand irons, etc... Think of a batman utility belt... > 3) MPs doing rear-area security in a hot conflict: weapons? uniform? Same as 1, but add anti-tank rockets and a more complete ammo load-out. > Thanks!
