US Navy Corpsman Medical Bags and Field Medical Equipment
In the US Army, the medical personnel is called the Medic.
In the Marines, the medical personnel is called the Corpsman or Doc.
Most gear issued to the US Navy Corpsman was no different then what a Marine was issued, but there were specific pieces. Mostly the bags they carried contained numerous medical supplies through out the central Pacific campaigns. There was an effort made to distinguish the Navy Corpsman uniforms from the Marines; however, it was found that it was safer to not make them potential targets. One of the men in the famous Iwo Jima photographs was a Navy Corpsman.
You will be able to see the numerous medical equipment and contents in the medical bags as used by the Navy Corpsman during their deployments with the Marines. The main things you do see are a lot of bandages. There will be scalpels and cutting tools, plasma and plasma bag, morphine for pain, Atabrine tablet, iodine, bandage compress, gauze, sutures, foot powder, and other medical gear.
