Answer 1

grunts

Answer 2

There was more than 1. The old OG 107 utilities were around a long time. I think they went thru a few changes from the Korean War up to the BDU's in 81. The big pocket shirt out style seen in photo's on combat units were jungle fagigues. Don't know what the designation was. They came in the same OG 107 (OG is Olive Green, 107 is the shade) We had guys comeing in with a cotton poly version in late 75. The cotton stuff I had needed starch or daily ironing to keep out of trouble in many units. Duffle bag press got me in trouble more than once. When done up with heavy starch they would last all week for guys like me sitting at a work bench. We would starch the Field Jackets too. Am not sure but think the designation was something like Shirt, Field Utility, OG 107. It would be on the collar tag.
