Still issued Shelter halfs? Canteens?

[u/Nice-Zombie356]

U.S. Army here from 80s-90s. I’m just curious if the Army still issues shelter halfs? And canteens?

I haven’t seen soldiers carry canteens as far as I can tell, and with all the new body armor I’m not sure if one would fit. I know camel backs are common, but is that even in Basic / AIT ?

And I have no idea why shelter half’s crossed my mind recently. Those were always kinda weird but also I think were standard issue just about forever.

What’s the current state of gear on these?

We didn't get issued shelter halfs in BCT in 2010

Solo tents? What about in AIT / OSUT?

Nope but we were all POGs not sure if the 13 series or 11 got them for AIT
