UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform: Difference between revisions

While the standard BDU is most commonly seen in the field, there are multiple specialized combat suits worn by different branches of the UNSC Army. The [[ODST armor|armor system]] utilized by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] is the most notable example, being a sealed full-body combat suit instead of a more conventional armored uniform. During operations in vacuum, Marines wear [[vacuum suit]]s, often equipped with armor plating. One example of a vacuum-enabled suit is the [[black body suit]], which is a lightweight, form-fitting suit of polymer body armor. Other task-specific suits such as the fire-resistant full-body combat suit are worn by the [[Hellbringers]]. Heavier armored variants of the standard BDU were worn on counterinsurgency operations by [[2524]], including a suit with charcoal fatigues and matte-black [[heavy impact plating]] covering most of the body and a helmet that fully encases the head.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 9''</ref>
