The Service Combat Uniform is the most used and comfortable and it is given to all the Armies and Corps. Only the Paratroopers have got a model with reinforcements on the shoulders and knees. Commonly called "camouflage uniform", the Service Combat Uniform is made up of a peaked cap, a jacket with five buttons and two inside pockets and pants with two back pockets and two mid-thigh pockets.

The Uniform also includes specialty footwear, gloves and a shirt for the winter or the summer version. Depending on the activity, there can be other items of clothing, equipment and armament constituting specific Uniforms, such as a campaign raincoat made up of an internal lining and a k-way with a jacket and overpants.

The Service Combat Uniform can be adapted to the different weather conditions upon decision of the Commanders: the pants and the footwear are the same while the jacket is substituted by the olive-green T-shirt, the short sleeve shirt, the shirt with the necktie and a V-neck sweater.

The Combat version adds the helmet with an antireflective drape, a fishnet scarf, a belt, the anti NBC mask, the armament and the flak jacket. The picture shows military personnel wearing the Uniform used in the European Operational Theatres and that used in Somalia and Mozambique.
In order to face the harsh winter weather of the Balkans, a raincoat has been adopted: it is made up of jacket, polychrome gore-tex pants and fleece sweaters.

For their specific employment, the Alpine Troops wear additional camouflage clothes; the picture shows Alpine Skiers wearing the uniform for snow-covered territories.

For operations in contaminated environment, all the personnel has got a uniform in special fabric with gloves. The personnel of the Air Cavalry wears a jumpsuit, an olive-green jacket and special footwear.

The armoured and self-propelled units use a sage-green jumpsuit and, in winter, a comfortable leather jacket.

The Service Combat Uniform, that will be soon introduced, is made up of unisex jacket and pants coloured in green, yellow and brown and in yellow, white and brown. It has been made in a unique version for the Armed Forces.

The jacket has got five buttons, two big pockets on the breast. The collar is wide and garnished with black and green cloth stars; along the strip that covers the buttons there is a cloth tab for the rank insignias. Over the breast pockets there is a band for the name and that for the Armed Force. On both sleeves there is a pocket closed by a flap; on the left there is the badge of nationality and on the right a support for any other insignias. On the elbows, large protective reinforcements.

The pants have got four bigger pockets closed by buttons.
