The U.S. Army Combat Uniform (ACU) is the standard uniform worn by soldiers in the United States Army. It is designed for functionality and comfort, featuring a camouflage pattern that helps soldiers blend into various environments. The uniform includes a jacket, trousers, and a patrol cap, all made from durable, lightweight materials. The ACU incorporates several practical elements, such as multiple pockets for carrying equipment and a Velcro system for attaching patches and insignia. It is typically worn with combat boots and can be adapted for different climates with additional layers or accessories, ensuring soldiers are prepared for diverse operational conditions.
