Pouch, Ration, Escape
During the Malayan Campaign of the early 1960s, Special Air Service (SAS) patrols operated deep in the jungle for weeks or even months at a time. They required low-mounted utility pouches to carry Escape and Evasion (E&E) equipment—pouches that could ride beneath the bergen’s A-frame and hold enough survival gear to allow a trooper to operate without a full field pack until reaching friendly lines or extraction.
