The <a href="/wiki/Garrison_cap" class="mw-redirect" title="Garrison cap">garrison cap</a> was introduced, originally to be worn overseas, as it could easily be carried when wearing the steel helmet. This marked the first time Marines, as well as other U.S. service members, wore distinct combat and non-combat field uniforms, in addition to dress uniforms. The service uniform was designated for ceremonies, garrison, and leave. </p><p>Sometime after World War I, the tradition of a "uniform of the day" designated by the unit commander was created to ensure uniformity of troops, now that there was a wide variety of uniforms available for wear. Also born was the tradition of reporting to a new duty station in the Service "A" uniform. In 1926, the standing collar on the service uniform was changed to a rolled-flat collar, but the dress uniform collar remained standing.

Previously, Marines wore the same utility uniforms as the Army.

The uniform uses <a href="/wiki/MARPAT" title="MARPAT">MARPAT</a> digital camouflage patterns, of which there are two approved varieties. The first is a four-color woodland pattern in green, tan, brown, and black, while the other is a three-color desert pattern in tan, brown, and grey. Both officers and enlisted Marines wear pin-on rank insignia on each collar point. Enlisted insignia is always black, while officers wear bright metal insignia in garrison and subdued insignia in the field.

In the past, when Marines wore the same utilities as the Army and Air Force, this served to distinguish them from the other branches, who folded the sleeves in with the camo facing out.

Enlisted Marines will wear <a href="/wiki/Chevron_(insignia)" title="Chevron (insignia)">chevrons</a> on the sleeves of all uniforms but the Utility and other working uniforms: gold stripes on red for the Dress coat, green stripes on red for the service coat, green stripes on khaki for the khaki short and long sleeve shirts, and black metal or plastic pin-on insignia on the collar of the utility and other working uniforms and the all-weather coat. The same insignia is pinned on the epaulettes of the wool sweaters and tanker jacket. Officers will wear large insignia on the epaulettes of dress, evening dress, and service coats as well as sweaters and tanker jacket; smaller insignia is worn on the collar of all other uniforms (officers in a combat environment may wear subdued insignia, where flat black replaces silver and flat brown replaces gold). Chief Warrant Officers who are designated "Infantry Weapons Officer" with an <a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_Marine_Corps_MOS" title="List of United States Marine Corps MOS">MOS</a> of 0306 (also known as "<a href="/wiki/Warrant_Officer_(United_States)#Marine_Corps" class="mw-redirect" title="Warrant Officer (United States)">Marine Gunner</a>") (or historically those in a combat arms MOS, which included artillery and communications among others during the Korean War era) replace their left insignia with a gold or black bursting bomb. Navy personnel authorized to wear Marine uniforms wear their assigned rate. Musicians in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Band" title="United States Marine Band">United States Marine Band</a> replace the crossed rifle in their insignia with <a href="/wiki/Lyre" title="Lyre">lyres</a> to denote their non-combat role. </p><p>Marines wear awards in several ways. Large medals are authorized only on the Dress "A" uniform, while awards for which no medal was struck will have ribbons mounted on the opposite pocket. Miniature medals are worn on the Evening Dress uniform, and are authorized for wear with civilian <a href="/wiki/Black_tie" title="Black tie">tuxedos</a> when appropriate to the event. Other dress and service uniforms are worn with ribbons and weapon qualification badges, though the unit commander may decide to forgo the latter. Breast insignia, also known as badges, are similarly worn, though individuals have the option of wearing subdued insignia on the utility uniform. </p><p>The buttons on the dress and service coats are reminiscent of Marine insignia prior to the adoption of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. The <a href="/wiki/Quatrefoil" title="Quatrefoil">quatrefoil</a>—the cross-shaped braid worn atop an officer's cover—is a distinguishing part of the Marine officer's uniform. The design is of French origin, and is a tradition from the pre-Civil War era when officers wore a rope cross on their caps to allow sharpshooters high in the rigging of a sailing ship to identify his allies in a battle. Enlisted Marines wear <a href="/wiki/Service_stripe" title="Service stripe">service stripes</a> on the cuff of the dress and service coats, each stripe denoting four years of service as a Marine. The standing collar of the dress coat is reminiscent of the uniform that earned Marines the nickname "<a href="/wiki/Leatherneck" title="Leatherneck">Leatherneck</a>". </p><p>Green cartridge belts or <a href="/wiki/Brassard" title="Brassard">brassards</a> can be worn by personnel in an authoritative or ceremonial duty status (such as drill instructors or fire watch sentries, wearing such items regards the individuals as "under arms" whether they are actually carrying a weapon or not.
