Starfleet Field Uniforms


The USS Enterprise remains in orbit of Earth 2, as multiple exploratory operations continue down on the surface. As of earlier this afternoon, I, myself, have rejoined the Wisconsin teams, and have resumed residential occupation of my civilian runabout, the SS Terra Nova.

Now that I am back in the field, this seems like a good time to address a question that I, surprisingly, get asked quite often…

Many people, not familiar with Starfleet policy, believe that Starfleet personnel always wear our iconic red, blue, gold, or green shoulder-colored uniforms, no matter where we are. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. We actually have a number of standard uniforms, each designed for a different purpose. Yes, we do wear our colored uniforms while aboard-ship, on a space station, or interacting with a civilization on a planet surface, however, when we are in the field – as I am right now, we usually wear camouflage field uniforms that are more durable to the environment. The attached image scan features me wearing the standard Starfleet field uniform.

This field uniform is also worn by our Marines during combat or operational away missions. When aboard-ship, though, they usually wear green camo-shouldered uniforms similar to our own iconic duty uniforms.

Right now, almost everyone in our Wisconsin base camp, other than a few engineers, and an ops officer on loan to us for the day, are currently wearing these field uniforms. Gear belts and packs are worn as needed, and the abundance of utility pockets are extremely useful.
