The United States Marine Corps Uniform serves to distinguish Marines from other service members. Among the current uniforms in the United States Armed Forces, the Marine Corps uniforms have been operating the longest. The Blue Marine Dress Uniform has, with little change, been used in its current form essentially since the end of the 19th century.

Uniforms
Marine Corps dress uniforms are a complicated uniform worn for formal or ceremonial occasions. The basic shape of the blue jacket with red slim dates back to the 19th century. This is the only US military uniform that combines the three colors of the US flag. There are three different variations of the Clothing uniform: Evening Dress, Blue Dress, and Blue-White Dress; only officers and unattended staff (SNCO) are authorized to wear Evening Gowns. Until 2000, there was a White Dress uniform, which resembled a US Navy uniform, but was only worn by officers (in a manner similar to the Dress White dress worn at U.S. Coast Guard). This uniform has been replaced with Blue/White uniform for officers and SNCO.
Blue Dress
The best known Marine Corps uniform is the Blue Cloth uniform, often seen in recruiting advertisements. It's often called "Dress Blues" or just "Blues". This is equivalent in composition and is used for civilian black ties. Various designations listed in the order of formality decreased:
- Blue Dress "A" has a long-sleeved midnight blue coat (registered member has a red trim) with stand collar and white web belt (with corresponding rank rank) enlisted; midnight blue for attendants with gold M-buckles, white barrack cover (peaked hat), plain white shirt, sky blue pants (midnight blue for general clerk), white gloves, and black shoes and socks. Full-size medallions are worn on the left chest, with the ribbon award worn on the right. Because MCCMP requires all marines to acquire and annually retain high proficiency using all individual weapons (eg, rifles, pistols, and attachments) and while different levels exist for both classifications, all USMC personnel get their Coat Badges, but these are not used. Women wear pumps in shoes, and may wear skirts in pants. For men, dress dress cut into a fitting.
- The Blue dress "B" is the same as "A", but the medal is replaced with the corresponding ribbon and everything is consolidated on the left chest. Signed badge can be worn.
- The Blue dress "C" is the same as "B", but the long-sleeved shirt and long khaki tie replaces the outer blue suit and white gloves. Ribbons and badges are usually worn on shirts.
- The Blue Dress "D" is the same as "C", but with a short-sleeved khaki shirt and no tie.
Since the Blue Dress uniform is considered a formal dress, Blue Dress "C" and "D" are rarely worn. The main exception is the Marine and Sea Security Watchers, who wear "C" and "D" in warm weather, and the Marine One pilot replaces the flight settings. Only uniforms "B", "C", and "D" Blue Dress are permitted for leave and freedom; "A" is not.
Officer, NCO, and SNCOs wear red line under the outer layer of each leg of blue trousers. Officers wear 2 (0.3 cm) wide lines, field officers and enterprise class has a line width of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), SNCO and NCO has 1.125 in (2.86 cm) line width. Officers wear trousers that have the same color as a coat, while all the other ranks wear blue pants (sky). The blue boat with red layers is optional.
The crewneck blue sweater, in the same color as trousers, can be worn with "C" and "D" uniforms, the rank of the badge displayed on the shoulder-shift mark, officer of each row and anodized brass for enlist. When wearing a sweater crewneck with a long-sleeved khaki suit, a tie is not necessary.
Blue-White Dress
Prior to 1998, the "Blue-White" outfit was officially worn for ceremonial units at the Marine Barracks, 8 & amp; I'm in Washington, D.C. (the most famous is the Drill Platoon and Color Protector). Since then, it has become the official summer dress uniform for all officers (replaced, in 2000, white uniform, similar to the Naval uniform/white uniform CPO), SNCO (except those in formation with NCO and unauthorized junior enlisted personnel to wear uniforms), and by NCO and enlisted junior personnel for ceremonies and social events only, if permitted and provided by the command structure.
Like the Blue Dress uniform, Blue-White Dress is made up of "A" and "B" uniforms, and worn in the same way as the Blue Dress uniforms, except for white pants, skirts, or white pants. Unlike the Blues Dress, Blue-White Dress uniforms do not feature a "blood line". Like Dress Blues, "A" is not allowed to be subject to leave and freedom. White trousers are not allowed to wear either with long-sleeved khaki shirts or short sleeves, blocking "C" and "D" uniforms.
Red Dress
To differentiate themselves from infantry, musicians - at the time, bug blowers and signal callers - will reverse the traditional colors. Today members from ten Marine Corps Field bands wear standard Blue Dress uniforms, while members of the United States Marine Corps Band (President Owner) and United States Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps (The Commandant's Own), both based in Washington. , DC, continues this tradition by wearing a Red-Dress uniform (a red blouse with a blue stripe).
Like the Blue-White Dress uniform, musicians are not allowed to wear khaki shirts in a Red-Dress uniform. If the conditions warrant (eg, Summer heat), the band will wear a white shirt with matching dress uniform pants (with the exception of white trousers).
Evening Dress
The Evening Dress is the most formal (and by US military standard, the most complicated) of the clothing uniform, and the equivalent of a white tie in use. It is allowed to be used only by officers and SNCO, and uniform items required only for senior officers (majors and above). It comes in three varieties:
- Evening dress "A" For male officers, it consists of a night coat with sleeves, collar strips, white vest, and a white shirt with piquÃÆ' Â bib. The line on blue midnight pants is a thin red line inside the gold embroidery line. The female officer wore a messy jacket with red collar, a white shirt, a red belt, and a long skirt. Medallions and miniature badges worn.
- The evening dress "B" is identical to the "A" Evening Dress except for men wearing red vest (general officer) or belt (all other officers), and women can wear short skirts. Medallions and miniature badges worn.
- SNCO Night Dress Male non-commissioner officers wear semi-formfitting mess jackets with black bow ties and sky-blue trousers. SNCO women wore the same evening dresses with female officers, minus the sleeves and the rankings. Both wore jackets with 1890s old-fashioned badge badges stitched in arms. Medallions and miniature badges worn.
The blue boat with red layers is optional. Unnecessary junior officers having an Evening Dress can replace the Blue or Blue-White "A" dress. It is suitable for occasions such as country functions, receptions and prime dinners, and formal dinners.

Service uniform
Uniform service consists of green and khaki color. (Per Head Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Protocol Section, "Uniform Tables Equivalent Services", dated February 2010, is roughly equivalent in function and composition for business settings.)
This is the uniform specified at the time
- serving in a military court
- attend a criminal court appearance (not in installation).
- make official visits and calls to foreign officials and US officials, officials and the military.
- visit the White House, except when in tourist capacity, or on occasions where other uniforms are determined.
- reporting for ground assignments
Like the Blue Dress uniform, service uniforms are authorized to wear while on duty (ie, on leave or freedom).
Service uniform set:
- Service "A" (or Alpha) is the basic uniform. It consists of a green coat, green pants with khaki web belt, khaki long sleeve shirt, khaki tie, buckle tie, and black shoes. The coat was cut into semi-fitting shape, with ribbons and a badge badge mark worn on the left breast of the mantle. Women wear green ties at ties, pumps instead of shoes, and have the option of wearing skirts instead of trousers. Sometimes it is appropriate to take off the jacket when in the room.
- The "B" service (or Bravo) is identical to "A" unless the mantle is removed. Ribbons can be worn on shirts.
- The "C" service (or Charlie) is identical to "B" except with a short-sleeve and no tie button-up shirt.
There are two types of official headwear for service uniforms. Both men and women can wear soft green garrison hats, sometimes dubbed "piss cutter" (or "piss cover" as a result of initial misunderstanding of nicknames). There is a choice of wearing a hard-framed hat (called Cover Barracks). The design of this blanket is different between women and men. However, by the end of 2013, the Marine Corps Commander approved the Marine Corps Council's recommendation to adopt men's suits and service hats as a universal outfit and service cap for all Marines, men and women. As with the Blue Dress uniforms, officers wear a rank badge on the shoulders of their jacket and shirt collar, while registered personnel wear a rank badge sewn on their sleeves.
A green crewneck sweater (adopted from the British Army and Royal Navy problems) in the same color as trousers can be worn with a uniform of "B" and "C", the rank of the badge displayed on the shoulders, each officer's rank and black for registered. When wearing a sweater crewneck with a long-sleeved khaki suit, a tie is not necessary.
Uniform utility
Utility Uniform The Marine Corps Competition or MCCUU is intended for use in the field or for working parties, but has become a common work uniform for all the most deployed and deployed Marines and Seafarers. This is given in MARPAT digital camouflage that breaks the shape of the wearer, and also serves to distinguish the Marines' uniforms from people from other services. Previously, the Marines wore the same uniform of utilities as the Army. It consists of blouses and MARPAT trousers, green shirts, and chocolates (especially "mojave olives") suede shoes. There are two approved MARPAT varieties, forest/winter (green/brown/black) and desert/summer (chocolate/brown/gray). To further differentiate the uniform, after closer inspection, the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor can be found in the pattern.
The variety used depends on the environment: Use marines used in which colors are more suited to climates and terrain; The MCCUU desert is worn with arms rolled in the garrison, with the blouse sleeves folded tightly onto the biceps, exposing the lighter inner layers, and forming neat cuffs to present a sharper appearance to an unformed uniform. In the past, when the Marines wore the same utility as the Army and Air Force, it served to distinguish them from other branches, which folded arms with camo facing out. In Haiti, this practice gave them the nickname "white man".
The two officers and enrolled were wearing a rank badge on each collar, embedded like pins and not sewn as in the Army/Air Force. Registered badges are always black, while officers wear bright metal badges in garrisons and weak (or nonexistent) symbols in the field. Most of the badges and emblems of the breast are authorized to be imposed on utility uniforms, glowing or subdued as appropriate. Marine Landing Supporters also wear Red Patch badges.
Unlike uniforms and service uniforms, utility uniforms are not allowed to be worn on leave or freedom (ie when not on duty), except when traveling by vehicle between duty and residence, or at an emergency stop.
The approved headwear is a utility cover, an eight-pointed edged cap that is used "blocked", that is, wrinkled and peaked. In the field, boonie cover is also permitted. The legs of "bloused" pants, or cuffs are rolled inside and tightened over their boots with elastic springs or rubber known as "boot band" or "blousing garter". With the introduction of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP), Marines now wear color-coded reinforcement belts rather than old web belts, demonstrating their level of proficiency in MCMAP (the web belt was removed in 2008 due to requirements for all marines to achieve the current tan belt rating ).
In battle, the Marines will also wear one of two ballistic vests: External Tactical Vest and newer Modular Tactical T-shirt, as well as Light Helmet (replacing PASGT helmet) and Better Load Charge Equipment. Marines in battle areas can also wear fireproof organizational equipment, or FROG uniforms. This combat uniform is designed to reduce fire-related injuries, and looks very similar to MCCUU. Other individual equipment can be used as directed.
The use of MCCUU by civilian contractors deployed with Marine units was given at the beginning of the Iraq War, but was canceled in early 2008.
In January 2013, the Marine Corps requested a request for a new tropical material variant from MCCUU. They are looking to buy 35,000 uniform sets, which among other things will dry out faster than the fabric used on MCCUU.
Uniform physical training
Physical work uniform consists of the following:
- Plain green shorts olive preparations and polyester t-shirts (shirts with unit logos can be authorized)
- OD green sweat with a Marine Corps symbol is printed in black on the left breast of the shirt and thighs of a pair of sports trousers
- OD green sport with reflective reflectors, reflective marines waving on the left breast of the jacket and in the right upper leg of the trousers, "Marines" labeled red with a yellow coat on the back of a jacket and USMC letters in the same design on the lower right leg of the pants. It was inaugurated during a tour to Iraq in December 2007 by former Marine Corps Commander General James Conway, and was released in February 2008.
In addition, Marines may wear clock and glove caps in cold weather, or hydration packs to prevent dehydration.
Miscellaneous
The following items may be imposed at the discretion of the individual, except when in formation, ceremony, inspection, or when the commander decides that uniformity is required:
- All-weather suits (which are double-breasted trenchcoats with removable liners) are allowed to be worn with all uniforms during bad weather and cold weather (ceremonial unit at Barracks, 8 & amp; I have Their own special outfit - blue trenchcoat with red piping).
- Blue Wool suit, (double breasted with gold studs), only used in Blue Dress uniform
- The gray tanker jacket is authorized with "C" and "D" Dresses and "B" and "C" Services except when all weather coats are worn
- A green service sweater may be worn with MCCUU (but only with and under the blouse).
- Olives green shirts with unit emblems or other designs may be worn in place of a plain olive green tshirt for MCCUU or in uniform PT (special shirts will not be mandatory unless they are provided at no cost to the individual)
- Umbrellas and wallets can be worn or carried by a female Marine if it fits in a dress or service uniform and must be black and plain
- Marines Women can wear Service Uniform or Utility uniforms when standard items are no longer appropriate. There is no maternity clothes uniform, while MCCUU maternity is present in the pattern of forest and desert.
- Organizational clothing items may be worn with utility uniforms during bad weather or cold weather, to include APECS jackets and trousers, combat desert jackets or raincoats.
- Plain plain black and white plastic tags may be worn over the right pocket of the shirt and service uniform only when mandated by the commanding officer. This is usually seen by instructors at schools or conferences, by recruiters, and by NROTC training or advisor instructors.
- Drill instructors and certain range personnel (such as the Main Marksmanship Instructor) wear a campaign cover (with multiple nicknames) in service uniforms and utilities when they are in instructional billets, such as on recruitment training or related activities.
Work uniforms will be worn when individual tasks require, to include clothes, flying clothes, cooking uniforms, and other safety clothing such as goggles, gloves, or aprons.
Naval officers and enlisted enlisted officers assigned to Marine units are authorized to wear all Marines uniforms except the dresses and Evening Dress uniforms. When wearing a Navy uniform, Navy personnel must comply with and comply with marine care and physical regulations, and replace the Sea badge with a US Navy badge whenever possible. These Fleet Navy members include doctors, dentists, nurses, medical services, hospital corps, pastors, religious program specialists, lawyers, legalmen, naval officers, divers and naval naval officers selected for Marine officers.
Most Marine units will have, at the very least, Navy medical and religious personnel, to be issued and required to use MCCUU; wearing other Marines uniforms is optional. The medical battalions and dental battalions, which are almost entirely Navy officers and sailors, can direct other uniforms. Other units, such as artillery, aviation, or legal units, may have other attached Navy personnel, and uniform the Marines.
Insania, rank and other tools
Like the other uniforms, the marine uniforms have many fixtures whose symbolism may be unclear. One of the most famous jewelry is Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, which are found in many ways in most uniforms; even in MARPAT digital camouflage pattern. It is also a standard cap cap for all uniform covers. Older emblems, ancestors for Eagles, Globe, and Anchors can be seen in modern clothing and service coat buttons.
The "bloodline" was found in the outer layer of uniform pants of NCO uniforms, SNCO, and officers. Tradition states that it represents the high casualty rate of the leaders during the Battle of Chapultepec. The clerk wearing the Evening Dress uniform also has additional gold pieces on the pants strip.
Various uniforms display the rank of different badges. Registered marines will wear a chevron on the arm of all uniforms but Utilities and other work uniforms: gold stripes in red for Dress coat, green stripes in red for service coat, green stripes on khaki for khaki short and long sleeved shirt , and badges of black metal or plastic on the collars of other work tools and uniforms and all-weather coats. The same badge is pinned on the rank of woolen sweater and tank jacket. Officers will wear big badges on epaulettes dresses, evening dresses, and service coats as well as sweaters and tankers; smaller emblems are worn on the collars of all other uniforms (officers in combat environments may wear quiet symbols, in which a flat black replaces silver and flat chocolate instead of gold). Chief Warrant Officers designated as "Infantry Weapons Officer" with MOS 0306 (also known as "Marine Gunner") replace their left symbol with explosive gold or black bombs. Navy personnel authorized to wear a Marine uniform wear the specified tariff. Musicians in the United States Marines replace crossed rifles in their emblem with lyres to show their non-combat roles.
Marines use awards in several ways. Large medals are only allowed on "A" uniforms, while awards with no medals beaten will have ribbons mounted in opposite pockets. The miniature medallions are worn on the Evening Dress uniform, and are allowed to be worn with a civilian tuxedo while in accordance with the event. Uniforms of clothing and other services are worn with ribbon and badge qualifying weapons, although unit commanders may decide to undo the latter. The breast badge, also known as a badge, is equally worn, though the individual has the option of wearing a quiet badge on the utility uniform.
The buttons on clothes and service suits reminiscent of the Marines symbol before the adoption of Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. The quatrefoil - a cross-shaped piece worn over the top of an officer - was the distinguishing part of the Marines' uniforms. The design comes from France, and is a tradition of the Pre-Civil War era when the officers wear a cross in their hats to allow snipers in the rigs of sailboats to identify their allies in combat. Registered Marines wear service lines on cuff gowns and service coats, each line showing four years as a Marine. The collar stands out of a dress coat reminiscent of the uniform that made the Marines the nickname "Leatherneck".
Green cartridge belts and/or brassards may be worn by personnel in the status of authoritative or ceremonial duties (such as drill instructors or fire watchers), wearing such items as individuals "under the arm" whether or not they actually carry weapons. Thus, they do not find in the room. During the ceremony, the officers have the option of wearing Sam Browne's belt and Mameluke's sword, and the Non-Command Officer can wear the NCO sword. Mameluke's sword is currently modeled on a sword presented to First Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon by the young king of the Ottoman Empire, Prince Hamet, in 1804, during the First Barbarian War, as a sign of respect and praise for the actions of Marines at the Battle of Derne.
Members of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments wore FourragÃÆ'¨re France to represent several awards from the Croix de Guerre by the French government in World War I.
Comparison with Army
On September 5, 1776, the Navy Committee purchased a Continental Marines uniform rule that set a green coat with white facings (collars, cuffs, and coat layers), with a high-leather collar to protect it from a cutlass slash and keep the man's head upright. His memory is preserved by the moniker "Leatherneck", and a high collar on a Marines suit uniform. Although the legend associates the green color with the traditional color of the rifle, the Colonial Marines carry a rifle. More likely, green cloths are only abundant in Philadelphia, and it serves to distinguish Marines from the British or blue reds of the Continental and Navy Army. Also, Sam Nicholas hunting club is wearing a green uniform, so his recommendation to the committee is for the green.
At the founding of the two United States Marine Corps in 1798, the Secretary of War authorized a blue-eyed blue uniform; blue is chosen for naval ties, and red with sentiments for Royal Marines and Marines tradition John Paul Jones wearing red. A year later, the Marines were given the remaining uniforms of the Anthony Wayne Legion, blue with a red face. It was the beginning of the modern "blues". The uniform also features a round cap, yellow eyed. In 1834, President Andrew Jackson returned the White Colonial white and white jacket, with gray trousers. However, the dye on this quickly faded and in 1841 the uniform was returned to the blue - this time with a dark blue coat and light blue trousers with a red line under the seams for the officers and the NCO.
In 1859, a new uniform order was issued; new uniforms have French-style shako with unpopular poms. There is also a choice of fatigue cap, formed after kÃÆ' Â © pi French. In the post-Civil War expedition period, Marines began wearing khaki field uniforms, more suited to tropical and arid environments. In the 1890s, the Marines adopted some practical changes to the field uniform, adding a campaign cover, with the big Sea insignia on the side, and canvas leggings.
In 1901 the emblem moved from side to side of the front of the campaign cover. In 1912 the Corps adopted the "Peak Montana" for the campaign cover and in the same year adopted the green forest uniform. Green service uniform adapted with standing collar.
As the Corps' size grew in World War I, the Marines were forced to adjust the overboard uniforms of the Army to clothe their troops and to maintain a similar appearance to the army to prevent soldiers mistaking the green jungle uniforms for German uniforms. Garrison hats are introduced, initially for use abroad, as it can be easily carried when wearing a steel helmet. This marked the first time the Marines, as well as other US service members, wore different combat and non-combat fighter uniforms, in addition to wearing uniforms. Service uniforms are intended for ceremonies, garrisons, and leave.
Sometime after World War I, the "day uniform" tradition set by unit commanders was made to ensure uniformity of troops, now there are various uniforms available for use. Also born is the tradition of reporting to a new assignment station in Service uniform "A". In 1926, the collar that stood in the service uniform was turned into a flat collar, but the collar of its uniform remained standing. The khaki version of service uniform is also adapted, for use in summer.
At the beginning of World War II, the Marine Corps had four standard uniforms. Blues dresses can be worn with white canvas belts, leather belts, or blue cloth belts for attendants, but their problems stopped early in 1942 except for recruits and ceremonial units during the war. The green winter service uniform, issued with a coat and cordovan garrison belt for enlisted men with Sam Browne's belt for officers (until cloth belts of the same material were replaced both in 1943), were initially worn as field uniforms (such as the Provisional Marines Brigade 1 in Iceland wear them every day). Garrison hats were reintroduced, originally for use abroad, but quickly became the standard. The summer khaki service uniform features a pocket-shaped pocket, and the trousers have no back pockets, as opposed to Army trousers that have front and back pockets. Beginning with pre-war deployments to Guantano Bay in early 1941, fiber pith helmets began to replace campaign hats worn in the tropics and by recruitment in training, but were eventually removed as field uniforms were eventually replaced with utilities and helmets in November of that year.
When the 1st Marine Division arrived in Melbourne, Australia, Australian armor was expelled for a cooler climate. The corps adopted Vandegrift's own long waistcoat that kept being expelled.
Marine marine uniforms were adapted from Army inventory once again, a tradition that will continue until the adoption of MCCUU in 2000. However, they use more extensive camouflage, since forest environments are more suitable for patterns of the era, such as reversible camouflage uniforms issued for some units on year 1943.
The introduction of women into the Corps doubles the number of uniforms, because women have uniforms for every male uniform. After the war, women's uniforms become close to their men's equivalents as women are more closely integrated into the Corps, and green service uniforms are worn throughout the year as the summer version of khaki is halted. In the late 1980s, a white uniform coat full of clothing was stopped, though white pants remained used as blue-and-blue SNCO summer officers and dresses for official junior marines in today's ceremony.
After the Korean War, the khaki utility was replaced by the OG-107 version, which was in turn replaced in the mid-70s by the ERDL pattern uniform. The Uniform Battle Dress became a standard utility in the early 1980s, with forest and 6-color desert patterns available. After the Persian Gulf War, nametapes added to BDU blouses and 3-color desert patterns were adopted to overcome deficiencies, and were used until MCCUU was adopted in the early 2000s.
The proud sticks were once popular in the Corps, beginning as an informal accessory brought by officers in the late 19th century. In 1915, obtained official approval because recruiters were encouraged to bring them to improve the public image. This tradition developed when the Marines deployed for World War I met a European officer carrying a proud stick, which led to the entry of a uniform rule in 1922 that authorized the registered Marines to take them too. Its usage subsided in the 1930s and 40s, except for the Chinese Navy, and again became fashionable when the 1952 regulations pushed them; peaked from 1956 to 1960, when Commander Randolph M. Pate encouraged usage. However, his successor, David M. Shoup, quickly made them an option and discouraged them. In 1977, Commander-General Louis H. Wilson issued a directive that forbade them in uniform.
