> The standard cap is best described as a Bus Drivers hat (at least
that's what we called it in the Air Force). However that might not be
the best description. It is a stiff cap, with a flat top, sides that
angle inward a bit, and a hard plastic sun visor (bill).

You mean the thing you see officers wearing with their dress uniforms
on TV all the time (albeit with different colours probably) - the one
they tuck under their arms when they doff it.

> In Seattle, I would assume that UCAS troops would be wearing standard
camo for 2 reasons. First, it probably was a sudden deployment which
meant that there was no time to issue special uniforms. And second, it
is more of a garrison duty and inside UCAS borders.

> Special Forces however might be wearing special uniforms, but the
average soldier on duty in the streets would be wearing standard issue.
It might even be pressed and starched. With all the media running
around the UCAS military just might be worried about image.
> Iridios
