Marine Combat Uniform

The Marine Combat Uniform (colloquially known as "Combats") is the current battledress uniform of the Confederate Marine Corps.

Design Features
The uniform is issued in several camouflage patterns, as well as grey, black, and navy blue. Marines in garrison or aboard ship wear grey MCUs, while Marines deployed planetside wear combats appropriate to the environment.

The MCU is constructed of a fire-resistant nylon blend with a light ballistic weave. While the uniform provides very limited ballistic protection, the ballistic weave makes the MCU highly durable and resistant to everyday wear and tear.
