The latest
Marine Corps uniform has a distinctive pattern that is unique
to the Marine Corps. When viewed up close, the uniform is
comprised of computer-generated patterns of squares. The
uniform was designed by Marines to improve survivability, as
well as durability and comfort.
The
camouflage pattern is suitable for "every clime and place,"
and effective for blending into many environments. A woodland
computer-generated pattern provides the best cover for forest
areas; the desert pattern works best in urban and arid or
sandy environments.
The new
utility uniforms have angled chest pockets, and name and
service tapes. Like previous combat utility uniforms, they
continue to have a sleeve roll and bloused trouser. Upper
sleeve pockets have been added for quick access to gear, and
elastic on the cargo pocket reduces gear falling out. The
Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem is embroidered on the blouse
and covers. (Source: USMC) |
