The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the U.S. military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the US military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. U.S. M1 steel helmets were manufactured through September 1945. Production was done by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing Company and Schlueter Manufacturing Company; the former developed a method to create an almost eighteen-centimetre-deep bowl in a single pressing, which was an engineering milestone at the time.

Recognisable thanks to this typical Mitchell reversible helmet cover of the conflict, the US Vietnam helmet cover was an essential element of the US Army uniform between 1959 and 1975.
