Almost identical in appearance to the standard issue
Star Fleet uniform, the Marine SDU is reinforced with
insulated Neo-Kevlar materials, to offer protection
from impact, melee and hand to hand attacks ( including
nerve and pressure point attacks). It even offers
some protection against level 1 stun attacks. 

 
As long as the uniform cut is regulation, individual
Marines are allowed to wear the SDU in a variety of
camouflage schemes, and to display service related
insignia on their uniform. (See BDU Cammo schemes
for some SFMC approved camouflage schemes.) 
 
Officer and Enlisted uniforms- save for flag rank
officers, are identical except for rank insignia.
There are two reasons for this. 
 
"Ever Marine is a Rifleman" The SFMC's guiding philosophy
holds that all it's Marines are comrades-in-service. 
 
Sniper Avoidance - Snipers often go for officers first.
Thus, uniforms conform on a general level, making
it harder to single officers out.

The Combat Harness, a strong vest garment with several
attachment points for spare clips, grenades and other
equipment is worn with the SDU when time will not
allow for full armoring. 
 
The SDU is standard issue for Marines, and available
to all Starfleet members who choose to wear it.
