	All branches of the Army, Navy and Marines all wear the same uniform; a dark blue jacket, light blue trousers and a hat which can vary some considerable amount depending on branch and rank but the most common is the Kepi. Enlisted soldiers uniforms tend to be baggier and looser fitting for ease of mass production, whilst officers tend to have a more fitted uniform.

			== Uniforms of the Army, Navy and Militias ==

			All branches of the Army, Navy and Marines all wear the same uniform; a dark blue jacket, light blue trousers and a hat which can vary some considerable amount depending on branch and rank but the most common is the Kepi. Enlisted soldiers uniforms tend to be baggier and looser fitting for ease of mass production, whilst officers tend to have a more fitted uniform.

			Militias are also entitled to wear the blue uniform of Saxum but are also able to wear uniforms of their own design. State militias wear the blue uniform as it is simpler and cheaper to procure, where as private militias sometimes wear different colours and styles of uniform for a myriad of reasons; cost, availability and the desire of their patron to name but a few.
			Regardless of the style of uniform, militias are required to wear the same rank insignia in the exact same colours as the Army.
