History
Some consider the ancestor of the officer’s field bag a bag - a tashka (from French tache or German tasche - “bag”) - a leather bag of cavalry servicemen in the 17th – 19th centuries , which was an important part of hussar equipment.
During the Japanese War , the Russian Imperial Army (RIA) already used a field bag with a double-headed eagle.
The museum of uniform stores drawings of 1912 with the image of a field bag, very similar to the modern one [3] .
In the USSR Armed Forces, the field bag became part of the only (the term of that time) equipment of the commanding staff (commanding staff, NS) of the Red Army , introduced by Order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR (USSR Revolutionary Soviet Union) No. 1936, dated September 1, 1923 .
Since January 1932 , in accordance with the order of the PBC of the USSR on the only camping equipment of the Red Army command and control personnel, a field bag (of another type) with a pallet came to supply the Red Army commanders .
The data on the number of tablets produced was classified - after all, it was possible to calculate the number of command personnel of the army from them. Orders for field bags were placed at tanneries, products were stored in warehouses and issued as needed.
Before the Great Patriotic War, production from lace-tarpaulin material was established, in accordance with order No. 005 of February 1, 1941 . In accordance with the order, such a field bag was intended for the command staff only combat units and only for wartime .
During the war years “outside the service” was not supposed to be carried in a field bag. A civilian with a tablet could have trouble - because when meeting a patrol one would have to explain where it was taken. After World War II, field bags were often used by children as a convenient school bag.
In 1973, an order was issued by the Minister of Defense of the USSR on military uniforms , the appendix of which indicated that the field bag should be worn while wearing summer and winter uniforms for everyday and casual wear, on a belt worn on the right shoulder over military uniforms.
Later, the bag of this style went into civil circulation and became a fashionable youth accessory, while losing the transparent screen for cards, because of which the field bag got its name. It is used for the same purposes as the purse.
