What does army gear consist of?
Like in Real Estate it depends on the location, the time and the place. It will always include a weapon, ammunition, rations and water, First Aid Kit, some form of shelter, and the harness and packaging to tote it, like canteen, haversack, knapsack, and bandoleers. Add whatever else is required: communications, grenades, LAW, compass, optical devices, flashlight, Tobasco sauce, bug spray, and never ever forget your bayonet and spare socks, and extra ammo. Those are the basics, different wars will mandate different tools.

What weapons or items did the Confederate soldiers carry during the Civil War?
The average Confederate soldier was issued leathers which consisted of a cartridge box (used to hold rounds), cap pouch (used to hold musket percussion caps), and a bayonet sheath (used to hold bayonet) along with a leather belt which held the cap pouch, bayonet sheath and sometimes the cartridge box when a cartridge box strap was not issued or thrown away by the soldier. They were also issued a haversack (made of cotton or canvas) used to carry their rations and a canteen (made of wood or tin) to drink from. For camping, a wool blanket, ground cloth (a piece of "tarred" canvas) and a shelter half (made of canvas) was issued and carried in an issued knapsack (made of canvas) or rolled up into a "mule collar" and worn slung over the left shoulder. This varied of course from soldier to soldier since each state/depot issued different items and styles of equipment. The types of muskets and rifles that were issued to Confederates were numerous and varied in quality, the most common being either a prewar smooth bore ('42 Springfield, flintlock conversion, etc.) or a rifled musket ['53 Enfield, '55/'61/'63 Springfield (US made), CS Richmond, etc.]. Union equipment was utilized as well after Confederate equipment became to tattered to use and broken supply lines made it impossible to resupply the soldiers.
Why was the typical equipment of a German soldier in World War 2?
TYPICAL EQUIPMENT for rifle infantry included items such as: - packs (several types: M1928 haversack, "jungle pack" for marines, "musette bags" for officers, paratroopers, and anyone who could beg/borrow/steal them) - canteen w/ carrier and cup - mess kit w/ folding utensils - portable stove - steel helmet & fiber liner - E-Tool - gas mask and carrying pouch - flash light - first aid kit - combat suspenders - identification discs ("dog tags," each man carried 2 on a chain around his neck) - web belt (with cartridge pockets for riflemen and BAR gunners, flat for Tommy gunners and mg or mortar crews) - tent half w/ pegs, rope, and pole (mated with a buddy's half to form a full "pup" tent) - various manuals (usually guide- or phrasebooks for the country served in) - cigarettes - rations kits (B, C, K, or D) Many specialized or non-standard items might be included depending upon the weather, the mission, or other local conditions. Officers frequently carried binoculars in a case and a mapcase as well. Battery powered radios in backpack ("walkie-talkies" with a range of about 5 miles) and hand-held ("handy talkies with a range of about 1 mile) styles were also carried by squad radiomen. TYPICAL UNIFORMS for rifle infantry included: - wool serge or khaki shirt - wool serge or khaki trousers - trouser web belt w/ flat buckle - trouser suspenders - field jacket (many divergent styles throughout the war) - twill shirt - twill trousers - combat leggings - service shoes or boots - twill cap - wool cap (the famous "jeep" or "Radar" cap) - socks - boxer shorts - undershirt ("tank top" or "wife beater" style) There was also an entire uniform set intended for use when a soldier was not in front line service. Called the "Class A" or, more often, "Service" uniform, this included a coat, tie, service cap, and several other elements. These were the "look good for the civilians" uniforms and were generally left in barracks well behind the fighting. The actual equipment issued troops varied greatly throughout the war, and was widely divergent depending upon what service and theater a given soldier served in. In just the few years of American involvement many new designs for the various pieces of troops' hardware were developed and saw combat. The combat footwear for infantry alone saw at least 4 distinct versions from'41 to '45. Much of the equipment was also surplus WW1-era material, especially during the North African and Sicilian/Italian campaigns. Uniforms likewise varied widely based upon theater, service, and when a given soldier was issued their clothing. As new designs became accepted as standard, replacement troops would be issued them even as veterans were still wearing the older-style garments in the same unit. Also, combat troops were given fairly free reign over what they wore in combat, so long as it was U.S. Army issue. Thus, many group photos of troops in combat zones have a "hodge-podge" look, with some men wearing older issue items and others newer, and almost never is there total uniformity.
