This depends on which military organization you are asking about. Standard equipment will be different, for example, for the Belgian Army than for the army of Malawi.
For the US Arms, the short and simple answer is "to read Common Tables of Allowances 50-900 (Clothing and Individual Equipment), 50-909 (Field and Garrison Furnishings and Equipment) and 50-970 (Expendable/Durable Items)."
The real answer is that there is no such thing as "standard issue military equipment." Every unit, and sometimes every part of a unit, has different equipment. I'll give you an example: I was in three tactical units: the 101st Airborne Division, III Corps and the 10th Mountain Division. When you report to a unit they send you to Central Issue Facility to draw field equipment. The issue at those three places was completely different--the 101st gave me a smaller pack than the other two places, III Corps gave me mechanic's coveralls and the 10th Mountain gave me a $1500 arctic uniform.
There are a lot of weapons which are standard issue. Assuming you're referring to the service rifle, it's the L85A2.
M14 was standard issue military rifle before m16.
The standard issue RCMP gun is the Smith & Wesson 5946 9mm Double Action Only pistol.
Depends on which military is using it. In the US military, the standard issue cartridge is the 5.56x45mm M855 cartridge. It is a 62 grain full metal jacket round. In NATO, the SS109 cartridge is standard, and this is also used by many non-NATO forces which maintain some degree of alignment with the West.
Austria, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland use it as their standard issue rifle. Several other military forces issue it to select units.
"Mil Std" is shorthand or tech speak for "Military Standard." Typically this is an industry term for military contractors or providers of military equipment that applies to material and equipment that meets the quality control requirements of the federal government and the US military. "IP51" is a nomenclature for some piece of equiment. What it is is difficult to say without more information or very specific knowledge of that equipment.
It's in Common Table of Allowances 50-900, which is a 50-page book.
GI stood for Government Issue. This is all the equipment, uniforms, and other items necessary for a soldier to do his job.
Yes, but before they were sporting equipment, they were standard weapons. In fact, many sporting events (especially in track and field) were originally military maneuvers.
The Military Standard, (MilSpec) depends on what the DoD specifies in the contract for the item it wants to purchase. Finding out specific standards requires a lot of research and may not be available to the general public for obvious reasons.
Man! I very much feel for you. Good luck with solving this issue. I have the same type of problems sometimes
In the military environment, the military safety standard applies, regardless of what the OSHA standard might be, unless there is a formal military policy specifying that the military will meet or exceed OSHA safety requirements.For workplaces outside the military, the military standard is irrelevant.
