Marines on [[Alpha Halo]] sported gray [[Fatigues (Uniform)|fatigues]], and over that, pieces of brown armor plating covering the head, shoulder, and shins. At times, they only wore their fatigues and soft body armor, even forgoing helmets and body armor plating in hazardous combat operations. At times, their helmets were also substituted for boonie covers and sometimes bandannas. However, since they had to get off the ''Pillar of Autumn'', they probably didn't have time to grab their gear.

Standard Marine battle armor appears to be an armored suit underneath jungle camouflage-patterned padding, and a conspicuous green load-bearing armored vest over the chest padding for additional protection. The standard-issue armor is more efficient than the body armor issued to the Marines on Alpha Halo, as the Marines no longer appear as a rag-tag group of survivors, but as a unified force. They no longer wear boonie covers and are never seen in combat without their armor. In fact, the only time Marines were seen without any armor was during the awards ceremony aboard ''[[Cairo Station]]''. In that particular case, they were wearing their white dress uniform. | Standard Marine battle armor appears to be an armored suit underneath jungle camouflage-patterned padding, and a conspicuous green load-bearing armored vest over the chest padding for additional protection.
