You now remember the DOD made Khakis in ACU cuts for deploying civilians.

why? couldn't they come up with something that looked more civie?

Probably an attempt to differentiate Civilians workers and Military ones. Usually, they just give them current issue uniforms and give them a civilian tag.

I mean I get that, but I feel like they could just contract somebody like dickies or cintas and just have them slap some velcro on their normal shit instead of making a special run of milspec shit for them. it would also visually differentiate them better

Pretty sure it was given to a limited amount of people. But the DOD did contract a couple of uniforms in khakis ACUs in 08 or 09. The uniform is called civilian protective uniform.

not that jihadis care about shooting civilians, but why would you want your non combatants to wear the same outfit as a soldier? why not just khakis and a polo?

Because its alot more simple and having an issued uniform makes it less of a hassle when it comes to logistics, especially if they are working at a base or something. They are the closest thing to a protective uniform.

Stolen valor implies he is doing it for benefits.
Without serving. But its easy to tell whether they are autists that like camos or just DOD employees. DoD employees tend to have the basic when it comes to uniform standards, but at the same time, they tend to have some stuff that aren't really allowed in the military like beards or long hair.

Fun fact, those uniforms were not commercially made. They were made by SNC under government contract. They are made from the same materials like regular ACUs and they also made some tigerstripe variants of it too aside from olive drab. There's also a FRACU version of tigerstripe stuff too apparently which is used in OPFOR.

Over in the middle east it was mostly logistics jobs. DLA, AAFES, DRMO, that sort of thing. Generally there's no physical requirement, there were a lot of fat old fucks that were there to get their boat/RV/boomermobile paid off quick. I think recently some contractor died during one of Iran's missile chimpouts in Iraq or Syria when he had a heart attack running to a hardened shelter.
One thing to note is that contractors, like from KBR or Raytheon are not DOD civilians.
>>
>>61494210
Normal civilian clothes are not as durable as military/tactical clothing.
>>
>>61494214
No, there's not any physical requirements from those jobs. There may be some health clearances, but those generally are for people that can't travel due to health reasons/because their primary care provider said so. But aside from that, its mainly logistical support and infrastructure support. From being a plumber to general IT stuff.
>>
>>61494196
You're already a legitimate target the moment you provide support for the bases. Even the military already know this which is why the civilians that go to military bases are generally volunteers rather than some poor sob that got forced into that sort of position.

That's a myth. DoD civilian pay is always going to be a substantial pay cut compared to their comparable military rank due to the DoD civilian lacking many of the entitlements that the equivalent servicemember gets.

The lore is loose and changes depending on what is useful for the unit being certified in the training environment, but the Circle Trigonists (Commie Latin-American faction) aren't one of the fictional factions used anymore. The maroon berets are because 1/509 is an Airborne unit, and paratroopers in the United States wear maroon berets. The last rotation I took part in, we were larping as Eastern European forces.

Permanent party OPFOR have their actual rank (Well, the fictional equivalent) attached on the shoulder and/or chest with their branch (in this sense, meaning job field) on their collar. Guys who are supporting (what I usually did) just wear blank uniforms without chest/collar rank because it's not worth it to get them made up for guys who will only be there for a month or so.

A few years ago the Italian Navy adopted a blue camo uniform soley for its divers. supposedly the pattern is meant to hide salt stains on the clothes. Romor has it that at some point the Navy wanted to adopt this for all personnel (kinda copying the blue camo the US Navy used to wear), but that the idea was regjected and they decided to recycle the already-ordered uniforms by giving them to divers.

I don't see much difference, and I think that at the ranges combat typically takes place, what camo you're wearing doesn't really matter.
Now, I could actually very easily see us using OD for roughly similar reasons as to why the British Empire issued red uniforms up until World War 1. See, most nations in Europe had adopted blue uniforms in those far-off days. These were seen as the most effective as far as not catching the eye too much, but it led to a lot of troops accidentally killing their own comrades-in-arms on the smoke-covered battlefields as they couldn't identify friend from foe in melee distance. To combat friendly fire incidents, the British issued red uniforms so that they were actually MORE visible. Crazy, but it actually worked to reduce friendly fire. This was a nation that once controlled the largest empire on the face of the Earth, and most of that was done in a bright crimson uniform.
Now, consider issues in Ukraine regarding IFF. Both sides make so much use of multicam to the point that they must wear colored armbands to tell who's who. This could present some liability in the event that American troops must face off against foes in nearly the exact same gear. American troops in OD green would be far less eye-catching than British troops in bright red, but it's clearly not multicam. Further, OD would just be cheaper, no need to print any patterns. Less money spent on uniforms, more spent on the tools of war.
One could try to argue that UCP's glaring blue-green-white color is more similar to the red coats of the lobsterbacks, but in modern combat being that visible is just retarded, as the French found out when their bright red, white, and blue uniforms made them easier targets for Germans in 1914. OD isn't garishly distinct, but it could be enough to differentiate friend from foe quickly. Besides, it's not like US troops would ever be unsupported, there's far bigger targets for them to look at with our combined arms doctrine.
>>
>>61509598
After all the camo debacle of the late 2000s, congress prohibited the development of any more camouflage unless all service branches agree to adopt it, which is why the Navy is going back to solid blue and khaki fatigues instead of the NWU
>>
>>61512857
The navy still use NWU. The act does not forced the branches to give away their current uniforms, which is why the marines stuck with MARPAT.

>>61489288
I've heard the rationale that it more readily identifies them as accompanying the armed forces so that they can get protections under the Geneva conventions. Some dude in normal civilian clothes caught along with a group of soldiers could get accused of being non-uniformed combatant or spy who would lack the same protections.

>>61494261
>One thing to note is that contractors, like from KBR or Raytheon are not DOD civilians.
In some situations contractors can also get uniforms like the DoD Civilians can. Instead of the little badge that says civilian they get one that says Contractors

The army and air force adopted OCP because its a good all around camo and they don't meed to worry about logistically fucking up procurements. The marines are still suffering uniform procurements of woodland marpat due to issues with the procurement process.

Probably due to field uses. But the marine camo shortage started like a year ago. Basically COVID hit marpat productions pretty hard and it lead to procurements being backlogged. Marines had to use desert or FROG gear for a moment.

I like both the army and airforce versions of the patterns for entirely different reasons. The army pattern is fairly cheap yet super effective up around the area where I live while the where the airforce is fairly rare and stands out even against other blue camo patterns

It's not an issue if they're on the same side.
>>61519961
Afghanistan was asymmetric so it's hard to compare to peer conflict. We're certainly not on the same level as tribals with jezails hiding in holes and mainly fighting by blending into civilian populations.
For assaults and larger-scale battles like happened in Iraq or are happening in Ukraine, you would be supported, yes? There'd be armor and air support nearby that you can call in?
>>
>>61521259
>if they are on the same side
When nato did military action against the serbs, the serbs were all wearing woodland camouflage or a copy of it. The iraqis were also wearing DPM camo too given by the brits.
>>
>>61519285
I think so yeah, but it still stands out a lot when put in most environments. Its the same reason a lot of outdoors gear is blue, because it's just a very uncommon color for the outdoors

>>61517870
I like that one big greek military gear company made a multicam variant for it.

Air Force colors tend to be blue due to British RAF and US Air Force influence thanks to WWII and the early Cold War.

The British dropped red uniforms almost 20 years before WW1 in the Boer War. Their experience there also led to the British being the most modern and professional army entering WW1, with a focus on dispersion and individual marksmanship.

The Boer War is actually really interesting as it showed how much the bolt-action rifle had changed the battlefield and upended hundreds of years of tactical precedent. The Boer War showed the British and the world the importance of khaki uniforms, individual marksmanship, and not fighting in columns.

An ERDL variant made for Afghan Intelligence. Platatac made clothing in the pattern for UKSOF (Though I think primarily SBS) who worked with the afghan glowies.

Yea, and most of the high quality stuff literally cost $100 per pants or shirt. I think it’s better to get federally contracted shit that will just cost around $45 at most.

Is this something the US does specifically, I wa there for a good period of time, did get issued regular ass coveralls for maintenance work which got washed on base, but didn't get an entirely different uniform. Seems kind of odd.

The U.S. does it to make it logistically simple and also make the civilian workers feel more welcome and not stand out as much. It creates a more stable work environment.

The Russian Voin-1 (Warrior-1) full body armor assault suit, said to be rated GOST 6A, for Alpha and Vympel operators mostly intended for building assaults, one of the many ultra heavy helmets/body armors made by the MVD during the 1990's.
Allegedly only about 25 suits were made, a Russian airsofter in 2012 got a hold of one and documented how to put it on, which starts by laying facedown into the pants and working up from there. He also estimated it weighs no less than 62kg/136lbs.
