A thing to remember
HOLLiS,
from the late 70s through the 80s and the run up to the first Gulf War the Air Force ( except for the Aircraft pilots, CCT, PJs and Security troops ) were really "office/job" focused.
It really was a come as you are war and the Air Force was going to "Be there on the ground". The Air Force was really scrambling for individual combat equipment - as well as bunchs of other troops.
Any stateside factories making desert related gear for the military went into maximum overtime production. I think the MOPP gear plants were running three shifts.
