M98 battle uniform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

M/98 is the standard Norwegian Battle Uniform, used by the Army (Hæren), Air Force (Luftforsvaret), and National Guard (Heimvernet). It is an updated version of the older model M/75, and is used together with different hats according to military branch. The uniform consists of jacket and trousers and comes in the Norwegian camouflage. The jacket has two breast pockets and two big hand pockets, both with flap and a sewn on velcro above left breast pocket for the name tag. The trousers have regular pockets for hands - one back pocket and cargo pockets with flap. In addition to the regular Norwegian camouflage in green, brown and a darker green color, a special desert pattern has also been developed for the Afghan and Iraqi missions. The desert pattern consists of light green, brown and dark brown. The M/98 is commonly used in garrison and only rarely used in the field.

The Norwegian army has a separate field uniform consisting of olive drab (and now also camouflage) pants and a Norwegian camouflage field jacket.
