capabilities to increase breathability and 

moisture comfort. Enduring need. 

→ NexGen MCCUU:

End state- increase durability, increase 

breathability, increase function in tropical 

environment, increase signature management. 

Ideal objective- add FR to increase protection 

and readiness 

MCTCU → Requirements in place & sustained

As an enterprise: increase utility and decrease 

logistics

Need for combat shirt

Need for kneepads

Need for MWIR and LWIR 

protection (separate or in uniform) 

Current 

MCTCU – For deployment to tropics for 

faster-drying & improved comfort. MCSC 

procured and CSP/Albany managed.

Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble

MARINE CORPS SYSTEMS COMMAND

Equipping our MARINES NexGen MCCUU Capabilities

Capability & Attributes Details 

Print Capabilities Increase signature mitigation over current uniforms. 

VIS & NIR highest priority. 

Increase SWIR over current uniform using - “apparent reflectivity values”. 

Breathability/Moisture Management Ability for fabric to move sweat from the inside to the outside quicklyimportant for heat stress.

Next to Skin Comfort Mobility, texture, stretch- important to move quickly. Increasing mobility 

reduces blow-outs. 

Durability Opportunity to increase durability over current MCCUU, #1 complaint/issue. 

Dry Time Force Modernization (littoral) and threat environment- needs to function in the 

Pacific/jungle/hot weather. 

NMND Minimum acceptable performance, “threshold”.

FR Properties Objective

Vector Protection Offer no less vector protection than MCTCU specification 

Appearance Provides some “neatness to appearance”

PP and creases not a requirement 

Use the RFP to solidify the ways of improvement to the existing uniform capabilities; 

reducing burden and decreasing logistics for the enterprise while providing improved 

capabilities to Marines.

Conduct user evaluation to gain qualitative insights on trade space, art of the possible, Marine 

acceptability and needs in FY23/24. Finalize trade space and requirements FY24/25.
