Uniforms of Medical Corps
Medical Corps primarily wears uniforms in Navy Blue (Color Type 1), however embedded unit medics typically wear the same uniform as the rest of the unit they are assigned to. Medical Corps personnel will also usually have additional insignia or identifiers on their uniforms designating them as medical personnel. Uniforms commonly worn by Medical Corps include:
Service Dress Uniform Class A
Service Dress Uniform Class B
Basic Duty Uniform Class C
Administrative Uniform with Navy Blue Polo and Navy Blue Pants Class C
Field Basic Service Uniform Class D (When participating in Community Service activities)
Physical Training Uniforms Class E
Because Medical Corps units are usually deployable, they typically require Type 4 or greater hygiene and appearance requirements when in full uniform.
