The '''UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform''' or '''BDU''' is the standard-issue combat uniform worn by the members of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. Inferior to more sophisticated [[armor]] suits such as the [[ODST Battle Armor|Battle Armor]] worn by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] or the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Armor]] worn by the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTANs]], the armor relies on more traditional methods of protection.

== Introduction ==
== POOP! ==
As opposed to the [[Dress Uniform (UNSC Marine Corps)|Dress Uniform]] worn at parades and functions, the BDU is intended for use in combat situations. As a large fighting force, the UNSC Marines use a great variety of different BDUs. Standard Marine Battle Dress Uniform consists of armor plating over [[Camouflage (UNSC)|camouflaged]] [[Fatigues (Uniform)|combat utilities]], and includes a number of ammunition pockets, holsters, and other features.

Unlike the radically more advanced [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Armor]] worn by the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] soldiers, the Marine BDU does not include a dynamic recharging [[Energy Shields|energy shield]], providing far inferior protection against [[Directed Energy Weapon|directed-energy]] and projectile weapons.
