UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform

The UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform in Halo: Reach.

The UNSC Army BDU is the standard battle dress uniform for the UNSC Army.

Description

Troopers sport fatigues with varying camouflage patterns depending on the operation. The armor plating used by the Army is generally brown-gray. Several color variations of the armor also exist, from dust brown, to gray, to the traditional olive green of the UNSC. The main components of the armor include an armored vest, a helmet and large shoulder pauldrons. The chest armor also has an extension to provide protection to the groin. The shins are not armored like those of the Marine BDU, with only dust gray combat boots and black kneepads on the lower leg. The thighs have attachment rigs for equipment much like the Marine BDU. On the waist is a utility belt used for storing equipment. Troopers commonly wear different types of backpacks, including radios and utility webbing.

The uniform consists of one GUNGNIR shoulder pad, a larger shoulder pad of a different model, and a CH252 combat helmet. Troopers often wear various helmet attachments, including tactical goggles, heads-up display eyepieces, flashlights, HESA-E sensors, External Command Network Modules, and sniper goggles identical to those used with the "sharpshooter" ODST armor variant. Troopers typically wear a Tactical/LRP chest piece with three ammo pouches and a UA/NxRA utility on their right thighs.

Trivia

• The two types of shoulder pauldrons of the BDU are identical to either the shoulders of the GUNGNIR variant (formerly EOD) of the MJOLNIR Mark V Armor, or the Base Security variant.
• The helmet also has an identical shape to that of the Military Police helmet variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V Armor.
