Going into the Vietnam era, Veteran chaplains would have used the kits they had from WW2 and or the Korean War. While Jewish chaplains, by necessity, continued to use the larger, bulkier kits, this next kit was developed and began being issued to Protestant and Catholic chaplains in Vietnam in 1966 as the Type 1, then was slightly modified to reduce costs without reducing serviceability in 1971 known as the Type 2.
