## Doctrine

As an important island in the Baltic Sea, the ground force serves an important role in preventing amphibious assaults from succeeding.

The ground force during peacetime is organised in a way that allows for quick and easy mobilisation. Its main doctrines mainly revolve using the least amount of equipment and manpower to its maximum firepower.

## Uniforms

The RSGF uses a standard camouflage for all its uniforms. The design is directly derived from Sweden's M90 camo called the M90SK, after an agreement between the RSGF and the Swedish Armed Forces.

This is the standard issue variant of the Sanktish M90SK uniform. It is issued to all ground combat units, while reserve and non-combat personnel are issued simple Olive Green uniforms.

   This is the brown-beige variant of the M90SK, known as the M90SK-D, or the "Brownie" among RSGF members. It is issued to personnel sent to desert or sandy environments.

   This is the winter and snow environment variant of the M90SK, known as the M90SK-B or "Finnish Uniform" among RSGF members. The nickname derived from the personnel that were sent to Northern Norway with this uniform, although they did not go to Finland. Although the Finnish uniform looks identical to the Urban variant, there are noticeable colour differences. M90SK-B has more color while M90SK-M is B&W.
This variant is currently issued to personnel working in Northern Sweden and Northern Norway (as a part of NATO).

This is the urban variant of the M90SK, known as the M90SK-M, or "Bob's uniform" among RSGF members. It was nicknamed Bob because it is a stereotypical thing that Bob is a dull, serious and uncolourful person, resembling the uniform colours. This uniform is issued to the Royal Sanktish Marine Force's 1st Marines Brigade or to units of the RSGF whenever participating in close combat in urban areas.

### Uniform Types

RSGF has a total of 5 uniform variations.

#### A Type Uniform
