The strings/ribbons are intended to tie to your leg to stop heavy loads in the pockets swinging excessively when you walk.

In a hundred years of focused thinking, I never would have come to that conclusion. I trust you, so I know that is the correct answer.
I could not get "past" figuring it was for securing something important/critical that could fall out of the pocket if you fell or rolled down a hill or stairs.
Thanks for the honest/accurate answer.
Man, I’m getting old.
We didn’t have BDU’s, we had fatigues in the states and jungle fatigues in Nam.
No strings attached except at the bottom of jungle pants to keep creepy crawlers out.
