Footlocker (luggage)

A WWII footlocker on a bed at the National Infantry Museum, South Columbus, Georgia

A footlocker is a rectangular cuboid container, secured by a padlock or combination lock, used by soldiers or other military personnel to store their belongings. The name is derived from the fact that they are typically placed at the foot of a soldier's bunk or bed. The term "footlocker" is currently used in recruit training in the United States Marine Corps.
