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. | 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.
