The Standard UNSC Army Trooper Battle dress

The Standard UNSC Marine Battledress
(Best picture I could find)

Does anyone have information concerning the armor issued to the standard Marines and Army Troopers of the UNSC?

We can see the differences between the two such as the Marines sport the covered visor with the military police helmet. They are giving a neck cover, shin to knee armor(sometimes, although some UNSC Army troopers have been seen wearing this), that's all I could find.

Although what I want to know is what is it made of, is there a layer of kevlar like material under those metal plates and how much damage that armor could take against Weaponry(UNSC Weapons included).

The Marine uniform they were wearing is because they were in a zone that was being glassed. It's not exclusive to those branches, it's just the situation.

In Contact Harvest what ever Johson and Byrnes teams are wearing fully deflects small caliber pistol rounds, they just bounce right off it.

I wish we knew more about their gear too though.

That are was not glassed. Final cutscene of reach kinda proves it.

Some parts. The atmosphere was not optimal.

It was raining there, so overall it wasn't horrible :/. I think they just had sealed helms as part of their kit by default.

I mean, these are marines, usually station on ships. They have to be ready if a hull breach/atmosphere gets vented.

Stupid ass washing machine...

Why do people seem to think that every sector of a military must have it's own uniform? Standard BDU's are commonplace in today's world, let alone 500 years from now. Besides, I personally think that the uniform we're seeing on the CEA marines/Reach army troopers is really cool looking and certainly an improvement over previous BDU's.

As for their gear, nobody really knows. But I'd imagine that due to the technological advancement from now to then, a super-light, super-tough metal/plastic/fabric has been discovered or developed. MJOLNIR armour is most certainly impervious to ballistic rounds.

I would have to say either ceramic or titanium-A alloys.

From info I have gathered, they seem to have an extra protective layer of kevlar underneath the armor.

The armor itself is more than likely the same build material as Spartan armor (which is Titanium-A and ceramic alloys)

The rounds were small caliber pistol, SMG, and rifle. They just bounced off as Johnson and Byrnes swept them.
