Uniforms and Equipment
TPM services wear roughly the same uniforms, with only minor variations in the standards of wear, and color variations in the navy dress uniform. Woodland(pictured) and desert camouflage patterns are the main ones in use, but there are a total of 4 different patterns used (not counting special forces patterns).
The three main uniforms: the Garrison Duty Uniform, the Combat Uniform and the Dress Uniform are pictured here in their most common configurations along with common armor and equipment configurations.

Special Uniforms
Along with having their own rank, he special units "Knights of the Phoenix"(KOP) and "Sons of the Phoenix"(SPX) have their own unique uniforms for different environments, and do not generally wear a dress uniform. Instead of a garrison uniform, an all black version of the BDU is worn.
