'''Working uniforms''' are part of a uniform (much like [[Fatigues (Uniform)|fatigues]]) worn by military personnel in non-combat situations, such as the crew-members aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''' campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> and {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''' campaign level ''[[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]''</ref> They provide little to no protection, only offering a covering specifically for their jobs and tasks at hand, such as Engineering and Tech support on ships or ground-side.

The '''UNSC Navy Working Uniform''' is the standard uniform worn by officers and ratings of the [[UNSC Navy]] for shipboard physical work and combat, as opposed to the [[UNSC Navy Dress Uniform|dress]] and [[UNSC Navy Service Uniform|service]] uniforms. In this respect, they are much like the [[Fatigues (Uniform)|fatigues]] worn by [[UNSC Army]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] personnel.


== Purpose ==
==Design==
These uniforms offer only little protection and are not meant for combat personnel. Though they do come in a variety of colors such as blue, red, orange, purple, and yellow, as seen being worn by the crew in the "PoA". Such colors differs for what job they do, though they are not known for sure, personnel wearing orange, blue, and red can be seen operating computers on the bridge, cryo bays, and anywhere else.
===Combat-ready uniform===
The combat-ready uniform<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 43''</ref> is worn by both commanding officers and junior crewmembers when battle is expected.<ref name="HW">'''Halo Wars'''</ref> It consists of a double-breasted olive drab tunic, bearing the seal of the [[UNSC Defense Force]] (though this may only be the case when assigned to work alongside Defense Force elements such as the [[UNSC Army|Army]] and [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]] for extended periods of time<ref>[http://halostory.bungie.org/oconnor_mclees_080508.html HBO Interview with Frank O'Connor and Robert McLees]</ref>), with the wearer's surname printed above the seal. It is worn with matching trousers with cargo pockets, a belt-worn [[pistol]] holster, and a baseball-style cap, also bearing the UNSCDF seal.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}<ref name="Genesis">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref><ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''The Babysitter'' and ''The Package''</ref> The combat-ready uniforms of ship commanders bear the [[ship emblem]] on the right shoulder. Medals and ribbons are not worn with this uniform.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}}
 
===Training uniform===
A more austere version of the combat-ready uniform features the wearer's name on the left breast. Rank insignia are not displayed on the shoulders, and UNSCDF affiliation is also not displayed. A cap is not worn with this version. This is likely a training uniform, as its only known use was by [[drill instructor]]s on [[Reach]] during [[SPARTAN-II training]].<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp''', ''Issue 2''</ref>
 
===Coveralls===
Simple service coveralls are the basic uniform worn by UNSC Navy personnel while on duty.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 322''</ref> Enlisted rank insignia is worn on the upper sleeve.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'''</ref> Most working uniforms are comprised of a light gray shirt, matching trousers, and a belt; these uniforms also have darker sections that display the UNSC insignia and overall resemble the combat-ready uniform. The letters "UNSC" are displayed on the backpiece.<ref name="TPoA">'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]''</ref> Others are comprised of a single jumpsuit and are colored based on the wearer's technical specialty: Red, green, and blue are the most commonly used colors.<ref name="Crow's Nest">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>{{Ref/Note|This section does not list all the colors seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', as all the working uniforms in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' are gray and those seen in ''Halo 3'' are red, blue, or green.}} With both versions, the wearer's name is displayed on the left breast.
 
===Engineer uniform===
Crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} employ high-visibility yellow jackets, hard hats and visors for working in maintenance and engineering.<ref>'''Halo Wars 2 opening cutscene'''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
The color-coded working uniforms seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3'' are almost identical to those worn by [[marathongame:BOB|BOBs]] in the ''[[Marathon]]'' trilogy. However, in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', all Navy personnel aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} wear gray two-piece uniforms which resemble those seen in ''Halo Wars'', ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo Legends'', and other more recent media.
