The old US Army canteen was called a canteen. It was one quart, plastic, and could be fitted with a an NBC capo that allowed a tub to be fitted into the top and allow the soldier wearing a gas mask to drink. Those days seem to be gone. The new Army canteen is called a hydration kit. It is comprised of several parts. These are listed below with their NSN's: * MOLLE Canteen pouch, 1 quart, NSN 8465-01-0585 * MOLLE Hydration system, 100 oz., NSN 8465-01-524-8396 or 8465-01-525-5531 * MOLLE Hydration Carrier, NSN 8465-01-524-8362 or 8465-01-524-5232

Show me the us military canteen styles?

During the 19th century (1800's) the US Army had a circular shaped canteen (flat and round) with "US" inked onto the canteen's cover. In the 20th century (1900's) the US Army had a 1 quart aluminum canteen, shaped like a water bottle, but indented on one side (appearing to form to a man's hip, but probably to make it easier for a man's hand to better grasp the canteen). During the Vietnam War, this same aluminum 1 quart canteen became an olive drab colored plastic canteen. In about 1970, GI's in Vietnam were being issued the new plastic 2 quart olive drab colored canteen; square shaped with the cap on one of the corners of the square. All cloth canteen covers had the letters "US" inked onto them.

What is marketing representative?

well, you could use a tea light stove or a small cat stove with one of the normal US army mess kits, but nnhitog bigger, I really can't think of anything else to do, the windscreen and pot holder(if simple and small enough) will fit nicely, it's just the stove and fuel you need to worry about.you can buy cheap nesting mess kits, but they won't hold much more then the US army one either, I personally use a US army canteen kit with a tea light/hexamine stove, I also have the US army canteen cup stand to be the windscreen, works fine for me.
