USMC Female Cammies to Arrive in January

With the scheduled fielding of additional sizes of combat utility uniforms in Jan. 2005, female Marines will be able to buy uniforms specifically designed with the woman warrior in mind.

According to the Marine Corps News Service, the Marine Corps has adopted six female-specific sized blouses and seven specific sized trousers. It’s expected that the new sizes will improve uniform fit and function for about 90 percent of the female Marine population who now wear the X-Small, X-Short; X-Small Short; Small Short; Small Regular; Medium X –Short; and Medium Short (Trousers only).
