Equipment of the RSIF

Uniforms:

There are three uniform types used by the RSIF. The first of these is a formal service dress used by all services with the only difference between branches being the hat colour, epaulette design and rank insignia.

Second is a camouflage uniform used for all occasions except formal. This uses the Royal Slovak Camouflage Pattern Mk 13 (RSCP13) or Slovcam for short which is based of the German Flecktarn pattern. Its traditional colour scheme is a five colour mix of dark greens, browns and some black. Other colour schemes include a desert scheme (RSDP13) with sandy tones for desert and arid environments, an Arctic scheme (RSAP13) with white and light greys for snowy environments and a forest scheme (RSFD13) with greens, browns and tans for more warmer environments. Also available is a navy scheme (RSNP13) of light and dark blues for ocean environments but this is rarely used and the traditional scheme is more popular. This uniform uses the same cut as the German Army so uniforms facilities can be shared and uniforms are interchangeable.

The third uniform type is the special use Military Operation Uniform (MOU) which uses black or very dark colour for tactical scenarios and military police.
