The M1967 USMC Combat Field Pack nylon pack was designed by the Marine Corps Airborne Forces Development Center as a replacement for the M1941 Haversack.1 The design of the pack evolved from the experimental XM1964 Haversack and featured two external pockets in addition to the main storage compartment, which had a waterproof rubberized collar. The top flap had two side strap hinges and one in the middle for attaching a blade carrier.

When matching USMC M1967 straps were used with the gear belt, the pack was worn on the back by attaching the top loops to the shoulder hooks of the straps and connecting the pack carabiners to the carabiners on the straps. Alternatively, it could have been worn as a backpack by connecting the front and back sling straps to the D-rings on the bottom of the pack.
