Armor Level 1- The SDU (Standard Dress Uniform)

a Standard Duty Uniform

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.
