U.S. Navy’s River Patrol Force (Task Force 116). Hi all just been reading about this amazing little inland river force. What pointers and what kit differences (if any) was there between the Sailors that manned these boats and the Infantry on the ground? I have noticed on some pictures that they seem to wear the M1 Helmet with no cover.
