Guardsman Utility Uniform
The Guardsman Utility Uniform (GUU) is what Guardsmen wear while on patrol or while performing other daily duties. The GUU is similar in material and cut to the F.A. Army's combat uniform. The sleeves of the jacket will be worn rolled up during the summer months, and not rolled during the winter months. Unlike many other law enforcment uniforms, the GUU does not feature a badge, and is replaced by the Common Acess Card. National Guardsmen are recognized by their distinctive black patrol caps.
Federation Dress Uniform
The Federation Dress Uniform (FDU) is worn by all armed forces personnel in situations where formal dress is called for. It can be worn at most public and official functions, and as an analog for business dress. It is based on both traditional and modern design and the colors of black, red, and gold in the case of officers, reflect the colors of the American Federation. The class "B" ADU is a variant which is worn without the overcoat and all insignia and decorations go directly on the undershirt.
National Guard Physical Fitness Uniform
The The Army Physical Fitness Uniform (NGPFU) is a modular uniform with individual pieces that can be combined or eliminated depending on physical training conditions. All parts of the uniform are styled in black. The NGPFU is made up of a track jacket, short-sleeve and long-sleeve T-shirts, track pants, fleece cover, cotton gloves, and stretchable running shorts. No standard shoe style is specified to be worn, however they must be neutral in color.
