Army Combat Uniform (Jeobseon)

The Army Combat Uniform is the main battle dress currently in use with the Jeobseon Self-Defence Army. It is also worn by members of the Jeobseon Self-Defence Navy when operating on the ground. The ACU is mostly seen used in conjunction with the Integrated Communications Helmet.

Design features
The ACU is the typical working uniform for all deployed and most garrisoned Jeobseon Army troops and planetside Navy personnel. It is available in numerous camouflage options for different environments, almost all of which build on the traditional four-colour, high contrast disruptive pattern.

Jacket and trousers
The jacket component is an all-weather, fireproof and puncture-resistant jacket worn over a t-shirt or other clothing. It is designed with modern polymers to keep the wearer warm in cold environments and still allow the loss of heat in warm environments. Soldiers are allowed to fold up their sleeves in warm environments. The jacket is also designed to be fireproof, and can withstand hits from flying shrapnel or glancing hits from low-calibre bullets. It is also allegedly stab-proof.

The uniform's trousers are made of the same material to the jacket, and are also flame-proof and puncture-resistant.

Headwear
The ACU is worn with a patrol cap while in garrison. The cap or a boonie hat may be worn in the field, though the boonie hat is not authorised for garrison duties. In combat, the Integrated Communications Helmet is worn. The ICH provides an augmented reality real-time information interface similar to the Yamataian Marine Battlefield Interface, as well as boosted communications capabilities. Some troops, especially those in rear-line guard duties, use the Yamataian Type-07 helmet. Optional tactical glasses are available for soldiers with these helmets to access the battlefield interface.

Body armour
Typically, a standard modular plate carrier-type body armour is worn. Removable pouches allow soldiers to carry customised loadouts for different missions, while ablative polymer and carbon nanotube reinforced plate armour protects against enemy fire. On occasion, simple load bearing vests with no armour protection have also been observed amongst rear and frontline Jeobseoni troops.

Jeobseoni troops also make use of combat exoskeletons.
