| ===Armor===
| | The color of the fatigues are olive-drab and brown-gray armor platings. The components of the armor generally consist of an armored vest with a combat knife, shoulder pauldrons and a helmet equipped with goggles. However, the chins aren't armored like the UNSC Marine BDU, the boots are dust-gray, and knee-guards are black. On the waist is a utility belt used for storing equipment. |
| Troopers sport [[fatigues]] with varying [[camouflage]] patterns depending on the operation; the most widely used is a light woodland scheme, though desert pattern fatigues are also common. The armor plating used by the Army is generally colored dust brown, gray, or olive drab. The main components of the armor include an armored vest, a [[CH252 helmet|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 UNSCDF, primarily the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and the [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]].

| The chest armor has an extension to provide protection to the groin. The thighs are protected by plates of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/UA|UA/NxRA]] non-explosive reactive armor with attachment rigs for equipment. The shoulder pauldrons are secured into rigs covering the upper arms and attached to the armor vest. Different types of pauldrons may be worn with the armor, the most common ones being a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V (G)|GUNGNIR]] shoulder pad and a larger pauldron of a different model; some troopers wear a different pauldron on each shoulder, while others wear two of the same type. 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 [[Wikipedia:Personal Load Carrying Equipment|combat webbing]]. Troopers often wear various helmet attachments, including tactical goggles, [[heads-up display]] [[UNSC tactical eyepiece|eyepieces]], flashlights, [[Hardened uplink/remote sensor package|HU/RS modules]] [[Command Network Module]]s, and [[O/I optics device]]s. Troopers typically wear a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Tactical|Tactical/LRP chest piece]] with three ammo pouches. Some troopers are also equipped with a tactical "soft case" attached to the left thigh plate. | |
