Uniform
The coast guard as of January 25th 2024 consists of two uniforms. The service dress, aka No.1s and formals aka No.2. Service dress is used for everything from PT to exercises to deployments. Formals are used on base when doing drill, general garrison or when not doing active duty.
No.1s
The No.1s camo pattern follows a blue DPM style, the camo is from the Kuwaitian navy's DPM. The uniform was adopted on the 25th January 2024 and was put into service since. Previously when the Navy was fully responsible for the patrolling of the coast, the coast guard always used naval No.8s (camos).
When wearing the No.1s the only gear attached is a DPM vest used to carry ammo, flag batch and a beret. The beret is of the wearers division, either that of patrol fleet, fleet air arm or civil arm. Only headgear the coast guard can expect to be equipped with is a beret.
The No.1s are not to be worn with a stablebelt. Only members of the Fleet Air Arm are permitted to wear jumpsuits. Berets are to be worn at all time.
