Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 61 Set #83304 (2005)-#93304 (2007) US 82nd Airborne Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 3 Pose 3

Ya know, I keep trying to figure out what these guys have on the front of their helmets. 

Googling '82nd Airborne uniforms' hasn't helped much. I know I had seen explanations of this a long time ago but can't find the references for it. Was it a medical kit? Cigarettes?
