A kit bag is cylindrical with one strap and the opening lengthwise. It is not used on maneuvers but only for travel off-base or when transferring from one barracks to another. It is carried either by hand like a suitcase or over one shoulder. It originated in the military. A knapsack is box-shaped, has two shoulder straps and is worn on the back. It is used for camping but is also used by the military on maneuvers in order to keep both hands free while marching, climbing, fighting, etc. Slightly similar to the kit bag is the duffel bag, which is smaller at the top and opens at the top. It also has one strap on the side and is carried over the shoulder. The duffel bag and kit bag are both designed to be flexible for storage on troop transports and ships. Cram 'em in, boys!
