Marine Corps Dress Uniforms are worn on formal or ceremonial occasions, and are similar to those worn by their 20th and 21st Century predecessors in the [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|United States Marine Corps]]. A variety of dress uniforms exist, including a white-and-blue uniform,<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> an all-blue uniform,<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> and an all-black funerary uniform.<ref>''[[The Life]]''</ref> | Marine Corps Dress Uniforms are worn on formal or ceremonial occasions, and are similar to those worn by their 20th and 21st Century predecessors in the [[Wikipedia:United States Marine Corps|United States Marine Corps]].

In the field, Marines usually wear passively [[camouflage]]d uniforms with usually green [[M52B body armor]]. Lightweight, though durable, the armor is surprisingly resilient. Marines don [[Ushuaia Armory]]'s [[CH252 helmet]]s equipped with a [[heads-up display]] and radio system.<ref name="enc49">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 49'' (2011)</ref> These helmets are mounted with [[Helmet recorder|recorders]],<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref> and certain models feature holographic text-displaying [[UNSC tactical eyepiece|eyepieces]] or [[Shooting glasses|ballistic goggles]]. In addition to helmets, Marines on field operations in more humid locales sometimes choose to wear [[Wikipedia:Boonie hat|boonie covers]], or those in colder environments don visored and thicker helmets. Marine [[Non-commissioned officer|NCOs]] are easily recognized by the cover they wear complete with the UNSC insignia, although they oftentimes substitute this soft cover for a more practical protective helmet; post-war NCOs often wear a variant with a fully sealed helmet that is otherwise worn by scouts. Marines sometimes don small helmet communications microphones or black-phased sunglasses on their helmets, and others carry backpacks. Marines sometimes wear black gloves to protect their hands and improve their grip on their weapons. Some Marines sport orange visors which attach to the brim of their helmets. Marines operating in cold environments wear environmentally-tailored armor, with insulated snow camouflage utilities and full body armor as well as insulated and visored helmets with something analogous to a balaclava.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> Marines also wear the lightweight and protective [[VZG7 armored boots]], the standard footwear of the Marine Corps since the middle of the 26th century.<ref name="enc49"/> | In the field, Marines usually wear passively [[camouflage]]d uniforms with usually green [[M52B body armor]].

[[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] sport heavy and articulated black battle armor, which also double as an armored g-suit that allows for safe transport in small ships during turbulent atmospheric entry. They also wear fully-visored, black helmets that cover the entirety of the head, and can withstand several headshots. This armor, overall, provides ODSTs with more protection than standard marine armor. | [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] sport heavy and articulated black battle armor, which also double as an armored g-suit that allows for safe transport in small ships during turbulent atmospheric entry.
