| abstract | - As opposed to the Dress Uniform worn at parades and functions, the BDU is intended for use in combat situations. As a large fighting force, the UNSC Marines use a great variety of different BDUs. Standard Marine Battle Dress Uniform consists of armor plating over camouflaged combat utilities, and includes a number of ammunition pockets, holsters, and other features. Unlike the radically more advanced Mjolnir Armor worn by the Spartan-II soldiers, the Marine BDU does not include a dynamic recharging energy shield, or increased speed/strength, therefore providing far inferior protection against directed-energy and projectile weapons.
