In addition to their flasks or horns, the early settlers often carried a pouch for bullets. This bag, usually of soft leather, was customarily worn suspended from the waist belt on the right side. Sometimes the pouch and flask were hung together on a leather strap known variously as a flask carrier or portetache.... Another means of carrying ammunition which was popular for a time in America was the bandolier... [with which] it was customary to carry a priming flask and a bullet pouch. 1, record 2, English, - bullet%20pouch

cartridge box : This rather loose designation for military accoutrements designed for carrying cartridges on the body of the soldier must include both the cartridge pocket and the pouch, as these terms are found to be influenced as much by language and official designation as by their shape. Regardless of varied style, they all have the feature of being suspended from the shoulder or waist, by belting or harness... Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden is popularly credited with introducing the widespread use of cartridges by infantry. 3, record 4, English, - cartridge%20box

Appelée gibecière ou cartouche, la giberne créée par Gustave Adolphe en 1620, remplace le sac à balles. Sous Louis XIV, elle se porte en bandoulière; sous Louis XV, au ceinturon. La baïonnette est placée sur une bande transversale; une poire à poudre, une épinglette, un pulvérin complètent ce fourniment. Vers 1750 [...] la cartouche ou giberne reprend sa place en bandoulière. À partir de 1845, la giberne est fixée au ceinturon, en attendant son remplacement par la cartouchière. 2, record 4, French, - giberne

The M291 Kit has been extensively tested and proven highly effective for skin decontamination. It consists of a wallet-like carrying pouch, containing 6 individual decontamination packets. Each packet contains a non-woven fiber-fill laminated pad impregnated with the decontamination compounds.... The individual decontamination pads are impregnated with the decontamination compound "Ambergard XE-555 Resin", which is the black, free-flowing, resin based powder. As the pad is scrubbed over the contaminated skin the chemicals are rapidly transferred into and trapped in the interior of the resin particles. Because the resin is black it maps out the areas that have been decontaminated. 1, record 5, English, - Ambergard%20XE%2D555%20Resin
