Personal Clothing

The multi-terrain pattern combat clothing is designed to blend within a range of environments such as woodland, jungle, crops, grasslands and stone.

The latest camouflage design was developed after many tests and evaluations, which included aerial photography to provide the correct colours and also brightness for a new pattern.

Personal Load Carrying Equipment provides a means of transporting supplies around on deployments, this includes ammunition/weapons, bayonet, food and water, protective and communication equipment. Soldiers may also carry other items like waterproof clothing and spare socks.

Soldiers are issued with bacteria-killingsocks - which are fully waterproof. The knee high socks help to keep soldiers' feet dry whilst wading through ditches and streams.
