🇺🇸Army of the United States🇺🇸: A military lookbook

PART I

The evolution of U.S. Army uniforms from the Revolutionary War to the present day reflects changes in technology, tactics, and the roles of the military:

Revolutionary War (1775-1783): The Continental Army, at this time, did not have a standardized uniform. Soldiers often wore civilian clothing, and the most common item was the blue or brown coat, with a distinctive cocked hat. Militiamen and volunteers wore a variety of outfits.

War of 1812 (1812-1815): The War of 1812 saw the introduction of blue wool coats, often referred to as "roundabouts" or "shell jackets," for the regular army. They were typically trimmed with gold stripes or white. Soldiers also wore the distinctive 'Shako' hat.

Civil War (1861-1865): The Civil War era marked the transition from brightly colored uniforms to the more familiar blue and gray, with distinctive kepis (caps) and frock coats for the Union and Confederate armies, respectively.

🇺🇲Army of the United States🇺🇲: a military lookbook

PART III(FINAL)

1980s - Early 2000s: Woodland Camouflage BDUs. The Army continued to use the BDU pattern into the 1980s. It featured a distinctive woodland camouflage pattern.

Gulf War & Desert Storm(1990-91): The Desert Storm uniform featured a distinctive desert camouflage pattern that included various shades of tan, brown, and light green. This pattern was designed to blend in with the desert terrain, making it harder for the wearer to be spotted.

Early 2000s - Present: ACUs (Army Combat Uniform). Introduced in the early 2000s, ACUs replaced the BDUs. They featured a digital camouflage pattern and were available in both a temperate and arid version.

2010s - Present: Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP). The OCP, also known as Scorpion W2, is the current standard uniform. It includes a pattern with subdued green, tan, and gray colors and is worn with the rank and name tapes on a Velcro patch.

Once again, credits to @viktorviolettaenterprises for his wonderful CC without which this lookbook wouldn't have been possible

🇩🇪Deutsches Militär🇩🇪: A German military lookbook

The uniforms of the German army have undergone significant changes from the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-1871 to the present day:

Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871): During this conflict, German soldiers wore distinctive Prussian-style uniforms, characterized by the iconic Pickelhaube (spiked helmet) made of leather or metal, and blue coats for infantry.

Imperial Germany (1871-1918): In the era of the German Empire, uniforms evolved to include the iconic "feldgrau" (field gray) color for tunics and trousers. The Pickelhaube was gradually replaced by the Stahlhelm (steel helmet) in the later stages of World War I.

Nazi Germany (1933-1945): Nazi Germany continued with the field gray uniforms and introduced various changes, including the black SS uniform and the distinctive brown uniforms for the SA (Sturmabteilung).

Contemporary German Uniforms: Present-day German military uniforms are functional, practical, and designed for various combat scenarios. They include the Flecktarn camouflage for woodland environments and Tropentarn for desert regions. The standard combat uniform also includes body armor and a Kevlar helmet.
