The '''UNSC Navy Service Uniform''' is the standard uniform for garrison and shipboard wear by officers and ratings of the [[UNSC Navy]], as opposed to the [[UNSC Navy Dress Uniform|dress uniform]] which is worn at parades and functions.

Two very similar versions of the service uniform were worn in late [[2552]]. One version consists of a long, light gray tunic and a matching pair of trousers.{{Ref/Note|This section describes Captain Keyes' uniform as it appears in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''.}} The wearer's surname is displayed on the right breast; rank insignia is displayed high on the left breast, with the ship emblem displayed immediately below and ribbons beneath the emblem. Epaulettes are worn on the shoulders, though they do not display rank insignia. This uniform is similar in design to the [[UNSC Army]]'s [[UNSC Army Dress Uniform|dress uniform]], though the Navy's uniform undershirt is dark gray as opposed to the Army's black.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}}{{Ref/Reuse|TPoA}}{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceB}}

This uniform was more formal in appearance, but decorations were not displayed.{{Ref/Note|This section describes the uniform worn by the crew of the UNSC ''Infinity'' in ''The Commissioning'' trailer.}} The officer's uniform design consists of a gray wool double-breasted tunic and jacket, and gray trousers. Rank insignia is displayed on the epaulettes on both the tunic and the jacket, though insignia can also be displayed on the jacket's collar. Both the tunic and jacket have large black shoulder and side sections, and appear extremely similar. However, the tunic has a black collar while the jacket does not, and a gold device is displayed there instead of rank insignia. The [[UNSC]] emblem is prominently displayed on the left breast of the jacket and tunic, with a name board below it.

Headgear for officers is a white-topped peaked cap displaying the officer's crest: A stylised black [[Unified Earth Government]] globe-and-olive-wreath on a silver shield, backed by two crossed gold fouled anchors, surmounted by a silver eagle. Unlike the white dress uniform, there is no separate cap design for females.

Unlike the white dress uniform, there is no separate cap design for females.


The enlisted uniform design consists of a single-breasted belted black tunic and matching trousers, with the UNSC emblem displayed prominently on the left breast. A sleeveless white top bearing the letters "UNSC" in black may be worn under the tunic, which is appropriate wear when working aboard ship.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[The Commissioning]]''</ref>

This version of the Service Uniform was in limited use during the last months of the Human-Covenant War,<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''Issue 1''</ref> this version gained prominence particularly after the end of the war in roughly [[2554]].<ref name="HOD">'''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]''' - ''[[Hall of History|Hall of History Service Uniform exhibit]]''</ref> With the war over, new initiatives to explore uncharted worlds and rehabilitate those [[glassed]] by the Covenant led to an emphasis on the [[Unified Earth Government]], with the revamped uniform bearing the UEG seal to indicate the UNSC's primary mandate is no longer a military campaign against an alien enemy, instead providing security to a new generation of colonists seeking to reclaim what was lost in the war.{{Ref/Reuse|HOD}}
This version blends a more utilitarian design in having an integrated body armor vest and shoulder pauldrons for additional protection, while displaying decorations and prominent rank insignia.<ref group="note">This section describes the uniform worn by the crew of the UNSC ''Infinity'' in ''Halo 4''.</ref> The uniform consists of a short tunic and trousers, both primarily colored gray; the insides of the trousers and sleeves as well as the midsection of the tunic under the armor vest are dark gray. The back of the vest has additional armor plating to protect the spine; an array of blue lights are displayed in these armor sections.


This version blends practical considerations with more ostentatious elements in having an integrated body armor vest and shoulder pauldrons for additional protection, while displaying decorations and prominent rank insignia.{{Ref/Note|This section describes the uniform worn by the crew of the UNSC ''Infinity'' in ''Halo 4''.}} The uniform consists of a short tunic and trousers, both primarily colored gray; the insides of the trousers and sleeves as well as the midsection of the tunic under the armor vest are dark gray. The back of the vest has additional armor plating to protect the spine; an array of blue lights are displayed in these armor sections.
Rank insignia are displayed on the collar, the shoulder pauldrons and the cuffs. Ribbons are worn on the left breast, alongside a stylized UN symbol; the uniform does not incorporate a name tag. A large metal shoulder piece may be worn on the left shoulder and additional armor plates may be fastened to the forearms. Utility pouches are often attached to the belt. Headgear is apparently not worn with this uniform.

A variant of this uniform used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] lacks the rank insignia and is a darker shade of gray, along with several minor differences. Instead of the stylized UN symbol adorning the left breast on the standard Navy uniform, this version is emblazoned with a black ONI emblem.
