The jungle soldier is provided with two rubberized fabric bladders, each displacing between six and eight pounds of water. These bladders can be easily and rapidly inflated by blowing through a small rubber tube and then closing this tube by trucking the end under a fabric loop. When inflated the bladders will keep the wearer afloat. They can also utilized as auxiliary canteens.
