<p><font size="4">The Field BDU is resilient, low weight perfect for light 
combat, and situations where a fully armored Marine 
may not be diplomatically ideal. It improves on the 
SDU's Physical protections, and provides environmental, 
and high energy protection. It can take up to a single 
Level 10 hit before the CADM degrades.<br>
<br>
It's light weight and ease of use allows operation 
with less regular drilling than the Heavy BDU does. 
Further, the Field BDU has a greater range of aesthetic 
options. While reinforced areas and trauma plating 
will be more obvious, the Field BDU can adhere quite 
closely to standard Uniform appearance. Generally, 
Marine variants often include extra pockets, hard 
points to attach gear, and so forth. <br>
<br>
The Field BDU integrates the Pallas Helmet and it's 
capabilities ( see below) and can provide an atmospheric 
seal for half an hour. allowing for short term outer 
space and aquatic operation. Otherwise, it is capable 
of providing comfort and protection in most environmental 
conditions within Class M parameters.<br>

Addition of Environmental Suit elements can allow 
it the prolonged operational duration of a standard 
Starfleet Environmental suit. <br>
<br>
The Field BDU was made available to Tactical Development 
in early 2404, and the upgrades have been as well.</font></p>
