Interesting! LOST:17 pile lined Parka type overcoat. If they lost them, that should end the question about whether or not they HAD them. Kind of hard to lose something you never had! The 18 camouflage one-piece suits are interesting too. Not listed in the TO&E, but they nust have had them. I never would have guessed.
