The following is a list of equipment currently in service with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.

## Base supplies
### Camouflage patterns

| Name | Used by | Notes | Period used |
| Type I Camouflage [ja] | 1st Airborne Brigade, JGSDF Air Defense Artillery Groups | Also known as "Old Camo" or "Airborne Camo", it is the first camo scheme adopted by Japan after World War II. It is based on Hokkaido's wilderness (effective in Sasa veitchii field). The shades become distinguishable after wash, and the pattern itself doesn't match to the environment in mainland Japan, leading to the introduction of Type II camouflage. | 1970s–1990s (still in limited use in 2014) |
| Type II camouflage [ja] | Currently used by the JGSDF, the JMSDF, Japan National Defense Academy cadets, and JASDF Air Rescue Wings Pararescuemen. | Second domestically designed pattern. Made from 50% cotton/50% vinylon or 70% vinylon/30% cotton. The earlier model had anti-IR/flame-resistant fabric, but the latter lacks the feature. | 1991–present |
| Type II brown-dominant winter pattern [ja] | JGSDF | Darker contrast on Type II Flecktarn camo to fit the color of winter plants. Used on JGSDF Type-2 Camouflage Cold Weather Field Parka and Trousers(防寒戦闘服外衣, 戦闘外被, or shortly 外被). | 1991–present |
| Type III camouflage [ja] | Recently adopted by the JGSDF | Modified from ''Type II'' pattern with a 50% cotton/50% vinylon or 70% vinylon/30% cotton fabric (depending on the year of contract/manufacturer) and other changes including a change in the front closure, a mandarin collar, Velcro cuffs and pocket lids, wider pen pockets, a loop inside the right chest pocket for ID card chain, two calf storage pockets, and knee pads in the trousers. The back pocket on the trousers has been eliminated. The belt (made from the same fabric) comes with a name tag, unlike the former Type II Combat Uniform/Type II Camouflaged Work Uniform. The Type III Combat Uniform/Type III Camouflaged Work Uniform（戦闘服3型・迷彩作業服3型, or shortly 戦闘服）has the same pattern as the Type II camouflage. Each soldier receives two sets of the Type III Work Uniform after enlisting, and after the boot camp each soldier receives two sets of Type III Combat Uniform, Airborne Uniform or Tank Uniform, depending on the unit the soldier belongs to. The Combat Uniform and Camouflaged Work Uniform are identical to each other, except for the product tag. Commercial version of the item (100% polyester version, cotton/poli version etc.) is no longer authorized to be used, including the vinylon/cotton fabric version. The use of commercial combat cap in vinylon/cotton fabric is authorized. The commercial versions have slightly different shades. | 2007–present |
| JGSDF Desert camouflage | JGSDF International Peace Cooperation Activities Training Unit, JGSDF Central Readiness Force | Adopted by the JGSDF for Middle Eastern deployments. This camo is a desert version of the JGSDF's flecktarn pattern. The first unit using this particular camouflage was the Central Readiness Force during the 4th DAPE (Deployment Air Force for Counter-Piracy Operation) in the Gulf of Aden. | June 2010–present |

### Uniforms

| Name | Description |
| Combat Loading Set [ja] | Miscellaneous clothing. |
| Combat Rainwear [ja] | Issued as a personal item. |
| Combat Boots Type 2 [ja] | Jungle boots with kevlar-like lining, the same model issued as a personal item is called "半長靴3型 (Boots Type 3 [ja])" |
| Cold-Weather Boots | Compatible with military issue cross-country skis |
| Work Jacket | Issued as personal item. Intended to be used in cold seasons over the work uniform. Consists of two chest pockets and two lower pockets (with flaps without closures). |
| Combat Underwear Type 2 | Khaki flame-resistant T-shirt, mainly used for ceremonial purposes. |
| Cold-Weather Combat Uniform Inner (Under) | A long-sleeved shirt and matching pants, made from thin synthetic fabric. |
| Cold-Weather Combat Uniform Inner (Outer) | Acryl sweater and matching pants, comes with a buttoned collar which is worn folded. |
| Name tags | Unlike the rank/skill insignias (in a green shade of the current camo), usually the name tags are in the olive drab of the Type 65 Work Uniform. Since the army regulation doesn't mention the name tags, each unit has its own regulation for the tags. Therefore, the layout, length, font, letters (Japanese or Latin alphabet), placement, method of attachment (either sewing or using velcro) etc. vary. Some troops do not use name tags for winter jackets. |
| Shoulder pouch | May be purchased individually, since the combat uniform doesn't have shoulder pockets. There are various commercial versions. Some troops use the velcro version to attach unit patches, insignias etc.. |
| Tracksuits and running shoes | Recruits are required to buy their own tracksuits and a pair of running shoes upon enlistment. Called the "ジャー戦 (Jaasen, literally jersey and combat uniform)", it is composed of a combat jacket, combat cap, trackpants and sneakers. This uniform code is often used in boot camp for jogging, eating in canteen or bathing. |
| 部隊識別帽 (Baseball Cap) | Many troops use baseball caps with the troop's logo instead of the issued combat cap. Since it is unofficially introduced, it is not provided by the Force. There are no standards for the cap, although, in many cases the cap has the soldier's family name on top of the left ear. |
| CAB Clothing Coolnice 2 Pack OD T-shirts | Issued to some troops during the 2011 Tohoku campaigns. |
| Carabiner | May be purchased individually, to attach it to the either right or left waist tab on the combat uniform to hang gloves or combat cap. |
