Sample 1:
The Flame Resistant Assault Suit coveralls were part of the US Marines’ Close Quarters Battle Equipment (CQBE), intended for ship-boarding actions. The CQBE also included an armor vest with pouches that are attached via an ABA-style velcro and snaps system The Assault Coveralls do not appear to have been widely issued or made, so the standard flight suit was authorized as a substitution. (source: https://publicintelligence.net/u-s-marine-corps-close-quarters-battle-equipment-technical-manual/). An example of the armor vest and pouches can be seen here: https://www.gear-illustration.com/2020/09/21/marine-close-quarters-battle-equipment-assault-vest-system-cqbe-avs/.
The design of these coveralls is very similar to the vehicle crewman’s coveralls. The coveralls on this page were found together with a Navy SEAL modified Desert MARPAT top.
