This soldier wears the Olive Drab synthetic resin coated raincoat. Before the poncho was ever introduced as rain gear, the raincoat was widely used by the U.S. Army. These came in both mounted and dismounted versions, with several different patterns used during the war. These raincoats were made using rubber-coated or resin-impregnated fabric, with seams glued and sealed together using high strength cement. The raincoat was often worn over other uniforms, and even equipment, to reduce the effects of rain, although prolonged exposure would still result in a soldier getting wet.
