The foreign equipment reviewed by the Infantry Equipment Board came from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.

The review of foreign equipment was essential in the development of the Model 1910 equipment. As a testament to the quality of the equipment produced by the U.S. Army Ordnance Department, the final report of the board observed it was superior in material, workmanship, and finish over every foreign source.
