Schwerdt equips its Military Services with the best uniforms and equipment available. The uniforms are functional and equipment is technologically advanced and field-proven. Considerable research and effort goes into ensuring the materiel provided to Schwerdt's personnel who serve to protect our nation, state, and way of life.
Uniforms
The field uniform consists of a camouflage pattern tunic and trousers. Appropriate to the region to which personnel are assigned, camouflage patterns include temperate-woodland, desert, mountain, winter, urban, and tropical-jungle.
Each service member has a protective overgarment, also in a camouflage pattern, for use in operational zones with a risk of exposure to atomic, biological, or chemical (ABC) agents. Ballistic protective gear, including a helmet and body armor, is also a standard part of the combat uniform. Certain duty positions warrant the issue of specialised uniforms, such as coveralls for mechanics.
For non-field duty, a field-gray uniform can be worn, consisting of a shirt and trousers. A sweater is available for cooler weather. When worn with the tunic, the field-gray uniform becomes the dress uniform.
Officers and members of units with ceremonial duties also receive the orange tunic and white trousers of the ceremonial dress uniform.
Individual Weapons
In keeping with tradition, members of the Military Services receive a dagger. No longer serving a battlefield function, the dagger is only worn with the dress uniform. Officers typically wear the sword for ceremonial affairs with either the dress or ceremonial uniform.
Issued to each member of the Military Services is either a rifle or pistol, depending on their duty assignment. The individual weapon is, typically, only carried during operational field exercises or missions.
Weapon Systems
Schwerdt provides only the most modern combat vehicles, aircraft, and vessels to it's Military Services. This ensures maximisation of combat power in the operational zone.
Support Systems
Modern militaries deserve, and Schwerdt provides, state-of-the-art support systems. This ensures operational forces in the field receive the logistics, information, and resources they need to win the nation's battles.
