The Royal Ranger Uniform
The Royal Rangers uniform varies somewhat from one nation to another, with most nations using some form of the original all-khaki uniform.
The Royal Rangers uniform in the USA underwent considerable changes in 2009. Rather than utilizing one standard uniform, Royal Rangers now have the option of choosing from a variety of formats, ranging from a simple, low-cost T-shirt and jeans to a much more formal “dress uniform”. The newest uniform option, known as the “utility uniform”, utilizes a long-sleeved khaki shirt and navy blue cargo-style pants. The intent of this uniform was to provide a style that is comfortable and suitable for active use, while retaining its usefulness for more formal occasions.
Updates released after LEAD conference in March 2012 allow for a non-uniformed option. New awards such as medallions, coins, bolo ties, and hatpins were created for the non-uniformed outpost. These additional items can also supplement the medal drapes, ribbons, and patches that are currently used in uniformed outposts.
