World War II Raiders got the idea of wearing ropes from the British Commandos. A toggle rope was part of the standard equipment of British Commandos and the Parachute Regiment during WWII. It was 6 feet long and had a toggle at one end in a tightly fitting eye splice, with a larger eye at the other end. This enabled them to be fastened together to create an ersatz rope ladder or to secure around a bundle for hauling, among other uses. Marine Raiders still wear the rope to uphold this tradition.
