What is a military uniforms ? They are standardized, distinctive forms of dress that distinguish soldiers and sailors from civilians. There are many psychological implications of military uniforms, including the importance of style, appearance and color, as well as insignia, decorations, and so on. These contribute to togetherness, orderliness and discipline, and add to the soldiers’ sense of camaraderie, cohesion, and esprit de corps. Some features contribute to formal patriotic displays. Other important human factors relate to practicality, functionality, utility, comfort, and bodily protection, which may affect soldier performance. This chapter addresses some of these human considerations and shows the importance of employing human systems integration approaches in the design and development of military uniforms.

There are two different types of military uniform. BDU means battle dress uniform, ACU means army combat uniform What’s difference between them?

The shape of the BDU is characterized by large straight pockets, a jacket with a shirt collar, and the use of buttons to close the jacket and pants. It is the US combat outfit from the 80s to the 2000s. The jacket has four pockets, two breasts, two hips, closed with buttoned flaps. Fabric inserts on the arms strengthen the sleeve at the elbows. We find these reinforcements on the pants at the knees. The BDU pants, in addition to the two revolver pockets. These BDU pants have two large cargo pockets on the thighs and two on the back, always buttoned under a flap. The size of Propper BDU pants is adjusted with a tightening tab that allows you to gain at least one size. At the ankle, a tightening lace completes the equipment.

ACU was launched in 2004. Newer than the BDU, it uses velcro and zippers to close pockets, jacket, and pants. The main feature can be seen on the collar: a straight Mao type collar with a velcro tab that closes it. Cotton blend and polyester, maintenance is easy. We find on the pants, the thigh cargo pockets with an elastic that closes the pocket in addition to the buttons. The tightening tabs at the waist are replaced by a lace. On the jacket, the torso keeps only two slanted breast pockets closed by a Velcro fastener that can receive badges. Pockets have been added on the arms, also at an angle, closed with Velcro, and covered with Velcro. At the elbows and knees, a pocket has been provided to accommodate additional protection if necessary.
