UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform

The UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform in Halo: Reach.

The UNSC Army BDU is the standard battle dress uniform for the UNSC Army.

Description

Troopers sport fatigues with varying camouflage patterns depending on the operation. 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 helmet and large shoulder pauldrons. The chest armor also has an extension to provide protection to the groin. The shins are not armored like in the Marine BDU, with only dust-gray combat boots and black kneepads on the lower leg. The thighs have attachment rigs for equipment much like in the other versions. On the waist is a utility belt used for storing equipment.

Some UNSC Army Troopers wear balaclavas, and also feature helmet attachments such as tactical goggles, monocle eyepieces, flashlights and sensors and sniper goggles identical to those used with the "sharpshooter" ODST armor variant. Troopers also wear many different types of backpack, including radios and webbing.

The uniform consists of one GUNGNIR shoulder pad, a larger shoulder pad of a different model, and a CH252 combat helmet. Some troopers also have either a flashlight or a CNM on the sides of the helmet. Troopers typically wear a Tactical/LRP chest, with three ammo pouches and a UA/NxRA utility on their right thighs.

Troopers often also wear a green heads up display eyepiece or goggles.

Trivia

• The two types of shoulder pauldrons of the BDU are identical to either the shoulders of the GUNGNIR variant (formerly EOD) of the MJOLNIR Mark V Armor, or the Base Security variant.
• The helmet also has an identical shape to that of the Military Police helmet variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V Armor.
