| REF UniMan was in fact simply hard copy of the old RDF UniMan with the word letters RDF scratched out and a hand-written REF at the end. By the time of the Sentinel Alliance, the REF had huge excesses of some uniform inventory, which were given to the Allies outright. Most of it was perfectly serviceable equipment, including clothes, that did not fit the REF UniMan. The Sentinels did not have uniforms (several of the species did not, in fact, even wear clothes before the alliance to Terra), and with the exception of the Spherians were very grateful for the materials (Spherians require sunlight); Even they accepted some elements happily. However based on the information developed by the Debate Committee on the FBX 21555320 investigations, the Hall Of Senators put forth a bill to unify the various militry forces to be as comprehensive and streamlined as possible; Though it was already being done informally, the various services modified their ranking structure into one system with as limited variation as possible (the Spacy and Patrol kept their naval system rank titles, the Marine kept their rank title of Gunnery Sergeant, the ASF kept their "Hearts And Darts" senior officer combination cover insignia, etc.), but the uniforms were to be unified as much as possible. The Council was particularly keen to get everyone on the same page so that when an REF member no matter what they did or where they came from encounters another they would instantly know who is in charge here. They left the MAF to figure out how to do so as long as they in fact did so; The process took ten years but eventually did produce a satisfactory result that later assisted the Council in overhauling the the civilian paygrade schedule. The Spacy, Army, and ASF continued the tradition of having a command patch on the uniform shoulders while the Marine continued NOT to do that; The Patrol generally doesn't (except for certain forward deployed units like Port Security). A related matter was that REF uniforms were costing a fortune. Already the services had ground dozens of uniform providers into bankruptcy. By having ONE uniform differentiated only by color, they cut uniform costs by over half. While the unforms of the UGC militry have been unified in terms of cut and arrangement, the colors are distinctly different: The branches can be identified by the color of their uniforms; The Spacy uniforms are white. The Marine Uniforms are "Dark Blue." The Army's Uniforms are Khaki or Tan. The Aerospace Forces are light blue.
The Spaceways Patrol uniforms are mid blue. The Public Heath And Safety Office is red. Recruit and Officer Candidate Dress Coat is grey (this coat is only allowed to be worn in a Training Command as a trainee, and the Marine and Patrol simply doesn't do it). The Undress Shirt for all is white (which further reduced costs by 8.5%). The Working/Duty Uniform is the same as well, except in color. The basic Working Uniform is darker grey or blue (depending on nature of typical work), but the color can be adjusted as necessary (camouflage for combat duty, light blues and purples for medical corps, and orange for SAR are some of the more common examples). Two member of different services with the same name and body measurement could in theory swap Working/Duty Uniforms and nobody should be any the wiser, and unfortunately this has happened by accident on occasion, especially at Basic Recruit and Officer Corps Commands. | |||||||||||||||
| The basic duty uniform is a single piece coverall unit that provides basic protection under most circumstances. If properly sealed he suit can serve as a light duty space suit; The macro fiber materials allow sweat to escape in positive air environments, making it suitable for the hottest or coldest environments with the appropriate foul weather gear. Colors will vary based on specific duties; This example is grey, commonly used in environments where mechanical work involving grease and other darker chemicals might be seen. Various camouflage patterns also exist. Variations on the basic duty uniform include CBE exposure, battle, and flight. A helmet is always authorized with this uniform, and eye protection is always required when donned. Other variations involve non-combat vests to denoted certain duties, such as fuelers, armory, medical, etc. The model here is a Vertiech Pilot, and while flight boots would be authorized they would only be worn during flight duties. In this example, the model wears a holster at the hip; However, an alterative of standard leg holster is normal. A lower leg holster is also permitted. In this uniform eye protection is required; Corrective and self tinting eye pro is authorized. |  | The second most commonly seen uniform is the Undress Uniform. Across all services, the short sleeve shirt is white to allow anything on the shirt to show up better. The pants and cover device will vary based on branch of service. Although the beret is the universal standard cover, the combination cover may be used at command directive, and is typically duty specific (such as OOD); The garrison cover may be ordered under certain conditions (such as office duties); The patrol cover is authorized for personnel with duty-specific needs (such as working outdoors in environments where helmets are not appropriate) and can be authorized at the command level. The model here is a Veritech Fighter Pilot, but standard combat boots would more often be seen here unless circumstances required otherwise. Though all awards, ribbons, and badges are authorized in this uniform, members may choose only to wear their "top row" awards and the badge most situationally appropriate (in this case the member's pilots wings). In this example, the model wears a holster at the hip which would be normal in this uniform; However, an alterative of standard leg holster is permitted, as is a lower leg holster. Medals and fourrag'ere are not authorized with this uniform. Underarmor shirt is authorized but not required with this uniform. Long sleeve dress shirt is authorized but not required with this uniform. When long sleeves are worn, a tie is required to be worn. |  | ||||||||||||
| The Dress Uniform is intermittently seen, usually for formal events. It consists of a Dress Coat over an otherwise standard Undress Uniform with a Dress Belt. A shoulder belt may be worn with this uniform but that is extremely rare as the shoulder belt is intended for use with a sword (to help hold it up). The model in this case is a Veritech Fighter Pilot, and therefore normally would wear his flight boots; However, protracted walking in flight boots is extremely uncomfortable, and therefore the wearing of standard boots is authorized. White gloves are authorized for this uniform, though they are less likely to be seen if the member's duties dictating this uniform preclude it. Medals are authorized but not required with this uniform. Fourrag'ere are authorized with this uniform only when necessry. |  | The Parade Uniform is very rarely seen, and is exclusively for the most formal of events. They are most often seen at Ceremonial Change Of Command by the Commanding Officer who is being relieved and the CO who is relieving them, by Recruit and Officer Candidate Instructors and Command Cadre during graduation ceremonies, and Commanding, Executive, and Operations Officers from combat deployed units upon return. Most UGC troops don't even own the components for a parade uniform. When worn, all medals and fourrag'ere are required. Note that in this example the model is wearing a fourrag'ere for the Khyron Kravsherra Militry Academy Command Staff with the Instructor's Aglet. Also note that the sword is hung from the belt in front; In normal it would be allowed to hang in a draw position or hung behind the arm. It is being hung in front here for ease of observation. The model for this is a Veritech Fighter Pilot, and therefore would be required to wear Flight Boots in this uniform; Also shown are Jump Boots (essentially calvary), which would be required if the member is authorized to wear. White gloves are authorized for this uniform. |  | ||||||||||||
| The REF Kilt is only authorized to members of ceremonial units, such as the bands, honor guards, assigned pallbearers on funerary details, etc. The tartan is the UGC tartan, regardless of branch of service. The rest of the uniform is the Parade Dress. Members wearing a kilt should not under normal circumstances need arms, however they may have a ceremonial sword; Funerary detail members assigned to gun salute will be bearing their rifles. Because the model here is a 1138TH Militry Police member, he still bears his sidearm (1138TH assignment to the Khyron Kravsheeva Militry Academy put them in at the forefront of most training and ceremonial commands now). |  | Battle and Fight Suits are basic Duty Uniforms with helmets, masks, and vests. Personal gear arrangement is highly variable. Anything not needed for the duties at hand are normally left behind. However, the Battle Suit is not the UGC's standard combat suit. The UGC's standard infantry and armor corps use power armor for planned combat or near-front duties. Pilots do normally use the Flight Suit version due to the need for flexibility in the tight environments of a fighters and bombers, and ship's crews will wear a flight suit when combat isn't planned. Note that the main diffrence between the Battle Suit and Flight Suit is the air hose; If any level of protection higher than this is required for a battle suit, the member will probably be assigned a power armor at the outset. |  | ||||||||||||
 For maximum durability, the RDF flight suit is the suit of choice; Rugged yet comfortable, the cotton poly blend shell can withstand the toughest of assignments, while the inner duro-latic liner retains air but not water, allowing the pilot's body to breath. Each suit consists of two components, the upper shirt and the lower trousers as a single, easy-to-don coverall arrangement. Most pilots report this arrangement is easier to don and more comfortable. It can safely be worn in hard vacuum for up to 30 minutes, even without gloves, though this is not recommended (see manufacturers instructions). Was also used, in a camouflage scheme, as the standard BDU for infantry and tankers. |  Used by just about all elements of the UGC militry other than the various space command pilots, BDU pants have 6 pockets, front, back, and legs, plus belt keepers on the inside of the legs for better holster/pouch control. The back and leg pockets have flaps with Velcro or button closures, and the front pockets are open. The fly can be either button or zipper. Colors vary by service; Army and Marine use camouflage schemes, Aero-Space green, Spacy and Patrol blue. Black is used by all services for certain duties. Straps on the bottom of the legs hold the pants into the wearer's boots.Price: $25 per pair. | ||||||||||||||
 Used by Veritech and Destroid Pilots, the flight helmet per say was a US/UK development from the Global Civil War. The configuration was based on a civilian motorcycle helmet, and indeed many were made at motorcycle helmet factories until the arrival of the Visitor (later SDF-01). The helmet also provided nominal protection from shrapnel and glass fragments, and even would cause projectile rounds (bullets) to "canter"; While this would rarely, if ever, prevent the bullet from striking when it struck straight-on, it would often cause it to spin off in some unpredictable direction, like a spit ball, if it came at anything greater than a 10 degrees angle. More than one pilot, after taking their helmet off, would discover they'd been shot in the head but hadn't known. Only the crack to their helmet informed them of their brush with death. (Commander Roy FOKKER had several such incidents, and before retiring, Admiral Rick HUNTER went through an estimated 2,500 helmets during his fourty-year career due to glancing cracks.) After a helmet becomes cracked, it must be discarded without exception.Contrary to the docu-drama, the RDF Flight Helmet was NOT open-faced; The eye cover could be moved up, but the lower half WAS closed, and therefore more like the helmet used by Lisa HAYES character (portrayed with great proficiency by Mika DOI in Japan, Aline LESLIE in the US/UK) than the one used by Rick HUNTER (done no justice by his portrayal by Arihiro HASE in Japan, Tony OLIVER in the US/UK). The one shown is NOT equipped with breathing hoses, though you can see the hose attachment points. Integrated Bluetooth features allow the helmet to connect with phone/cell phones, radios, and any other comms equipment wirelessly. It also allowed the helmet to have HUD Screen in later models. Price: $700 degrees degrees Sizes: Small through Extra Large. (Ben DIXON wore a large, to the surprise of some.) |  The RDF designed a suit of body armor for high-intensity combat, but also a lighter set, based on civilian police riot armor, for general purpose use. Only the torso armor was used by infantry soldiers, due to its uncomfortable and restrictive nature. However, all other major areas of militry service used the light armor until its supersedence by the RDF's mid-Malcontent Uprisings Era Light Armor, which was both more protective and more flexible. However, many Tankers and Destroid Pilots continued to wear the armor over their Light Armor up until the advent of the CRV-01 and 02. Always worn over Combat/Flight Suit.Price: $500 for a complete suit with standard helmet. Special helmets would cost more, as would other additional gear. Sizes: Extra Small through Double Extra Large. Price: $6,000 per suit. | ||||||||||||||
All too common in the militry, UGC gunbelts hold a service member's gear close to their body; Holsters, clip  pouches, mace cases, cuff cases, etc. Anything they need is close to hand but easily removable if necessary with the triple-point buckle in the front; The triple-retention buckle also makes it just above impossible for an attacker to remove the belt in a fight. Usually held on by 4 to 6 belt keepers. Each service member is at their discretion how to assemble their components, but are restricted to the authorized equipment, and are required to have ALL authorized gear their command directs. The belt above has, from left to right, Silent Key Keeper, Key Keeper, Universal Radio Holster, Flashlight Ring, Cuff Case, Small CS/CN/OC Canister Holster, Latex Glove Pouch, Collapsible Baton Sheath, Double Mag Pouch, and Baton Ring. It also has two belt keepers, rather than the normal four. (This one is probably for display only, since it doesn't have a pistol holster and is short on belt keepers.)Price: $200 each with all the normal components; SPES and MP Units tend to cost even more (due to the additional gear). Note: The UGC uses the Combat Thigh Holster, which attaches to the duty belt under the gunbelt, allowing the member to ditch a gun belt in an emergency WITHOUT ditching their sidearm (thus the one above would be correct in reference to the missing holster). | First used by DOGS (1138TH MP Battalion) and Henry J GLOVALSKI Militia as well as others (including the Anarchist Militia  of California), but developed by the New Earth Collective (the New York militia made famous for their conversion outright to Wicca and their book "The Wichita Burnings"), it starts with an overall standard thigh holster. However the straps used to hold the holster up to gunbelt are replaced with a knife sheath; In this particularly exotic example, the knife is a United Cutlery(R) Sentry(R) combat knife. Rumor has it this one was Captain Anita HOUSTON-FONTAIN of the Anarchist's own holster, though she was not even known to carry a sidearm (being a sniper). (A Redgun was used and the leg strap was cropped for the photo).Price: Varied, but a general price of $60 for all parts and labor is fairly normal. | ||||||||||||||

 These rugged all-leather boots have been in militry service for many decades. The boots have steel toes, to prevent the caps from melting in high-heat (if it's hot enough to melt the steel, the wearer is probably dead already), and a second version is available with a zipper on the inside.Colors: Brown for infantry and Armor (tank and Destroid) and black for everyone else. Price: $50 per pair; Zippered boots cost $99 per pair. Sizes: Extra Small through Double Extra Large. |  These are the best made flight boots available. CABoots handcrafts your custom Shotgun Boots with only the highest quality leather materials. You can choose color, toe and heel styles.Authorized Configuration: One-piece vamp and top construction, 18" Shafts, Maple Leather Cowhide Lining, Leather insoles and outsoles, 18" Calf Circumference, 2" Square French Toe, 2" Stacked Leather Cuban Heel, Black 4oz Cowhide Leather Uppers, Metal shank for arch support, Toe CW: W-toe, Walking #9 (1.625") Heel, Combo Walk #7 (1.625"). Price: $350 degrees degrees per pair. Size: 4 through 16, plus half sizes up to 15.5. Width: D (Standard Mens), B (Standard Women's), E, EE, EEE, and even Custom Widths. Available for Males and Females. Authorized Shaft Height: Authorized 12" through 21" (above knee - calf measurement required for 15" and above). Whole inches only. Authorized Boot and Sole Color: Black. Medium brown (5940) is authorized for Infantry and Armored forces only. Flight Boots are also authorized for Infantry, Armored, and all other commands; However, combats boots are more common for these duties. Boots shall be worn UNDERNEATH normal uniforms and OVER flight suits. | ||||||||||||||
 These standardized flight gloves were issued to just about everyone. The leather and Nomex gloves proves surprisingly resistant to heat and flame, but could not hold atmosphere. Therefore, when worn by astronauts and VT Pilots, the flight suit wrist closures HAD to be double checked to ensure the suit would not fail in the event of atmosphere loss in the cockpit; A pilot wearing these gloves could survive for up to 30 minutes if their suit remained intact. The Nomex Flight Glove are the most affordable on the market, and have become an essential piece of equipment for SWAT teams, military units and law enforcement agencies around the galaxies. Constructed with a 100% Nomex fabric back, soft cowhide palm and sewn with non-melting Nomex thread.Price: $10 degrees degrees per pair. Sizes: Small through Extra Large. |  Originally based on bicyclist's gloves, over gloves were used over standard flight gloves by both Internationalist and Anti-Unificationist tankers and aircraft pilots during the Global Civil War used them. The padded palm gave additional grip, especially for fighter and helicopter pilots, and RFID tags implanted in the pad allowed the tanks and fighters control grips ("joystick" and "steering wheels") to be used as a de-facto security measure. Though never officially authorized by the various Internationalist nor Anti-Unificationist militaries, the RDF adopted the concept in the First iteration of the Uniform Manual.Price: $20 per pair. Sizes: Small through Extra Large. | ||||||||||||||
 The UGC issues these long-sleeve shirts for semi-formal dress purposes. When worn under Wolly Pullys, tie is optional. When worn on top, tie is mandatory. Militry Creases are NOT authorized.Price: $30 degrees degrees |  Originally meant only for the Sentinel Allies during the War with the Regent, the Duty Shirt has become the UGC's general-purpose working dress shirt; Though short-sleeved, this golf-style shirt supplies the UGC with the best overall shirt for hot work environments. May be worn with dress pants, skirts, or BDUs and under Wolly Pullys, jackets, or on top. Militry Creases are NOT authorized. 1.5" name are to be sewn in over the left pocket and rank insignia on collars; No other marking are authorized.Price: $30 degrees degrees. | ||||||||||||||
 Used to decrease discomfort from sweat and humidity build-up when wearing body armor/flight suits and from chaffing from these materials. Always worn under any long-sleeved clothing, including flight suits and coats.Price: $20 degrees degrees. |  Worn under all shirts. Not required if Underarmor is worn.Price: $5 degrees degrees per pack of 3. | ||||||||||||||
 Rank sleeves are used on undress uniforms. As the name implies, the piece goes over epaulettes like a sleeve. Spacy, Patrol, and Marine sleeves show a marker at the top to indicate job for Limited Duty officers, or a star for Spacy and Patrol or an EGA for Marines for other officers. The example shown here is a Commander/Lt. Colonel assigned to Militry Police.Price: Varies. |  Pips are used as officer collar rank devices with a black pip showing a full stripe and gold pip to show half-stripe. The pips are one quarter inch across with a pin to hold them to the collar on undress and dress uniforms, while a tape with the respective pips in subdues colors are typically used on duty and battle uniforms (proper pips are allowed but not recommended).Price: Varies. | ||||||||||||||
 Worn above the ribbons, duty and qualification badges are used to indicate what duties the wearer perform; A few, such as the Spacer Badge and Combat Infantry/Armor Badges, indicate accomplishments.Shown here are the Spacer's Badge (5 years service about a ship or cutter), Pilor's Wings, ASF Command And Control Badge, and Army Combat Infantry Badge. Some badges are service specific (as indicated), others are universal. By far the most common is the Spacer's Badge; It's also considered one of the most honored, as it shows forward deployment for the wearer. |  These embroidered rank insignias (gold or silver, depending on exact rank, on black twill) are 1.5" times 1.5". They were never considered "official" rank insignias under the UN Defense Forces Mandate, but remained in service throughout the First Robotech War and the Malcontent Uprisings as a "quick reference", especially among member-states that were either poorer (and therefore received them as gifts from the wealthier nations) or were "fringe members" (such as the United States). During the War with the Regent, excess inventories of these were given to Sentinel Allies, and were so in demand that a factory had to be rushed into service on Tirol to produce them.Price: $199 per pair. | ||||||||||||||
 Like the Embroidered Rank Insignias (above), Shoulder Sleeve Rank Insignias were never considered official rank indicators by the RDF. However, necessity put them into service far too often, especially in the Tropical Blue Short uniform (short sleeve dress shirt). These do remain in limited service with various RDF's throughout the UGC, and with BOS Forces in the field. Often supplied with bars on the top and bottom; However the top bars were removed from every one and bottom bar removed from enlisted sleeves.Price: $1999 per pair. These are also often seen in non-UGC public service organizations (police, fire, EMS, local militias, etc.) due to the commonality of issuance across the IPA during the formative years. |  Unlike the rank insignia sleeves, the RDF and REF, and even the ASC, considered Solid Color Shoulder Sleeves to be official indicators; Not of RANK, but of TITLE. For example, the RDF's Air Squadrons used the red shoulder sleeves as indicators of fueling crew. Exact meaning changed by unit; Gunnery units used red to indicate gunners (the guy who actually pulls the trigger), while infantry used red to indicate a medic (easier to see). These were used only in Trops, never in combat uniforms. Black, grey or red were the only colors available, and had no stripes (though some units put rank insignia devices, both metal and cloth, on anyways; nowhere was it written they couldn't). Rank insignias were sometimes attached to the sleeves for quick reference by visiting personnel, though again this was strictly against the rules.Price: $1999 per pair. | ||||||||||||||
 Originally developed as a lighter alternative to heavy and occasionally TOO Warm Bomber Jackets for aircrews, Woolly Pulleys are as durable as it is Warm and comfortable, and it even provides some protection against weapons other than heat and laser based. Worn over Trops shirt, no tie, with a long-sleeved undershirt (Underarmor, long johns, etc). If button-style closure epaulets are unavailable, Velcro-style closure epaulets may be used, but Type B uniform buttons must be sewn in at the centerline, 1" from the point. Wearing of the Wolly Pully is NOT mandatory, but most people who have them would rather slit their children/spouse/best friends throat than give it up.Price: $1999 Sizes: Small through Double Extra Large. |  Called Eisenhowers for reasons lost to antiquity, wind breakers are wind-resistant coats with a close-fitting neck, waistband, and cuffs. They are not typically rain resistant and are meant for light wx conditions where bare sleeves are too cold but heavy jackets are too warm.When worn, wind breakers shall be service color with the owner's name embroidered in 1 inch block letters and rank shoulder sleeves. | ||||||||||||||
 Intended only for dress purposes, the dress uniform jacket was NOT typically issued to REF personnel. 1138TH MP Battalion was the ONLY operational command that was issued the jackets to all personnel (due to their proximity to the REF senior brass). However, any REF Personnel could order them; Many did. The jacket, however, was NOT available to Sentinel Allies. The example shown is a Men's Jacket; Ladies Jackets were exactly opposite, with the cover flap reaching from Right to Left, Neck Guard Left to Right.Price: $200 Sizes: Small through Double Extra Large. |  Even now rarely worn, the Class A Dress Jacket is the REF version of a tuxedo, and is NEVER issued; However, any REF member can buy one if they wish. This jacket is worn only under the most formal circumstances, such as weddings, funerals, formal dinners, meetings with ambassadors, etc. Only available at REF Supply commands.Price: $500 degrees degrees Sizes: Small through Double Extra Large. | ||||||||||||||

 The RDF issued Berets to the personnel as standard, with color indicating either branch of service or specific command information; For example, Black meant RDF Spacy Pilots. Exclusive clutch guard covers interior spring clips. Adjustable drawstring for perfect size fit. Vinyl sweat guard. Lock stitched at all stress points to prevent unraveling. Lined berets feature brass venting eyelets and satin quilted linings for shape retention. 100% Wool-Vat dyed. Woven oversize for smarter draping.Sizes available: 6.75, 7, 7.25, 7.5, 7.75. Each Beret is adjustable ⅛ size up or down. Price: $999 |
Price: 30 credits each; Only available to AUTHORIZED purchasers. 1138TH MP Battalion had this badge issued to them by Admiral HAYES-HUNTER. The command name, "Defense Objectives Guardianship Service" was a play on words; 1138TH MP Battalion was infamous for their RABID defense of the then-late Admiral Henry J GLOVALSKI against Anti-Unificationists who had forcibly allied themselves to Field Marshal Anatole LEONARD (much to his annoyance), called in the pro-LEONARD press the "mere dogs"; 1138TH adopted this as "Defenders Of GLOVAL Squadron." For their defense of the late great Admiral GLOVALSKI, Admiral HAYES-HUNTER christened 1138TH the "Defense Objectives Guardianship Service" to justify the FORMAL acronym "DOGS." ONLY 1138TH had this particular badge; All other MP commands badges were similar, but with normal wording ("REF MILITRY/POLICE/BATTALION/battalion number"). Price: $30 degrees degrees each; Only available to AUTHORIZED purchasers. | ||||||||||||||
 A Garrison Cover can be folded flat when not being worn.They are light and easy to wear but are typically only worn when working indoors only, as they provide little to no actual protection from the environment and some people say they amplify light in bright sunlight. Officer covers have a strip along the left side that comes across the front and angles down about a third the length. Enlisted covers are single color all across. |  The Combination Cover is a peak cover (popular with working class men) with a visored frame inside to keep its shape, a band to hold a service device, and chinstrap. Enlisted Combination Covers have a black chin strap basic service device until E-7, at which point the device reflects Senior enlisted status; Officer cover devices reflect their service's Officer Corps. At O-5 a row of acorns (arrows for the ASF) is added; At O-7 two rows.Only Combination Covers and Ties differ by sex, as the female combination cover traces back to the nun's habits which were used by nurses (the first female militry position). | ||||||||||||||
 Certain Honor Guards are issued white heavyweight canvas gaiters. Black, brown, and green versions are authorized to other units. Heavyweight bleached white canvas with brass eyelets.Price: $1999 per pair. Sizes: Small through Extra Large. | |||||||||||||||
 The Female Tie is the Crossover Tie in applicable service color. |  The Male Tie is the Windsor Tie in applicable service color. | ||||||||||||||
 This mitten will insure your Warmth, made with a soft heavy duty leather and a wooly back. For easy adjustments, there is a tab wrist and cuff. This mitten comes with thinsulate lining and a removable quilt liner. If you are out there challenging nature's most frigid days, these super Warm hand Warmers will get you through. They were also carried in just about everyone's gear bags, and even RDF Veritech Pilots assigned to the MACROSS owed their fingers to these gloves, holding off frostbite after ejection (or ship shut-down) and therefore heat.Price: $40 at all RDF bases, exchanges, and supply depots. The REF version is the same price. |  This combination heavy winter coat and sleeping bag was first designed on Terra over 500 years ago- And is still in widespread service throughout the UGC. In fact, every single REF and RDF member is issued one during boot camp, and is not allowed to loose or discard them.The kit can be used as either a straight sleeping bag, winter coat, or combination (such as demonstrated in the image). The lower part of the bag can be unzipped and either rolled up or used as a cushion for a seat. Additionally, if the member dies while in the service, their bag becomes their body bag, making it tragically convenient at every level (they can also be use as LifeBags in a transfer for treatment). Upon discharge (honorable, general, or dishonorable), the member is allowed to keep their bag- Most continue to use them for decades after, and are even sometimes handed down over generations. | ||||||||||||||
| The RDF adopted this emblem as part of the UN Security Council Resolution creating the RDF itself. Its exact history is lost to antiquity, though it is known the idea behind the design was that it did not match any known militry design, and had a stylized star effect. The REF version of the patch had a black or red bifurcation down the center. The only "authorized" variations are blue (rather than yellow) borders for Global Civil War veterans and green for T'sentraedi personnel (a tradition that remains). Though never authorized, U.E.S. MACROSS (SDF-001) veterans also had a large "M" stitched into the center. As the REF formed, some RDF vets, when supplies virtually evaporated, took their RDF emblem and either stitched the black line OR took a black marker and drew it in; Most, however, did not do so (as authorized by UNIMAN section 2145874992.3.A.ii.c). Price: $5 at all RDF bases, exchanges, and supply depots. The REF version is the same price.
|  Generally only worn for dress occasions; Also worn for certain high-intensity inspections (as dust shows up on the white gloves much easier; hence the term "white glove inspection").However, this example has an emblem on the back, originally used by the alchemists (mages) of the Amestris militry. The runes focuses fire and heat-based energies, and as such have found some popularity outside Amestris. Other versions have since been developed for other types of energies. | ||||||||||||||
