(Some troopers wear shin guards; they just don't appear often in-game. I've removed both trivia entries, as they are mentioned in the article proper.) |

The UNSC Army BDU is the standard battle dress uniform of the UNSC Army.[1]
Description
Armor
Troopers sport fatigues with varying camouflage patterns depending on the operation; the most common is a light woodland scheme. The armor plating used by the Army is generally brown-gray. Several color variations of the armor also exist, from dust brown, to gray, to the traditional olive green of the UNSC. The main components of the armor include an armored vest, a CH252 combat helmet, shoulder pauldrons, thigh armor, and in some cases, shin guards. Most of the armor components are standardized and are shared by the different branches of the UNSC.
The chest armor has an extension to provide protection to the groin. The thighs are protected by plates of UA/NxRA non-explosive reactive armor with attachment rigs for equipment. The shoulder pauldrons vary between GUNGNIR and a larger shoulder pad of a different model; some troopers wear a different pauldron on each shoulder. Radio operators wear no pauldron on the left shoulder.
Equipment
On the waist is a utility belt used for storing equipment. Troopers commonly wear different types of backpacks, including radios and utility webbing. Troopers often wear various helmet attachments, including tactical goggles, heads-up display eyepieces, flashlights, HESA-E sensors, External Command Network Modules, and sniper goggles identical to those used with the "sharpshooter" ODST armor variant. Troopers typically wear a Tactical/LRP chest piece with three ammo pouches. Some troopers are also equipped with a tactical "soft case" attached to the left thigh plate.
