According to the material, soldiers often wear camouflage uniforms while on duty. It is also designed for emergencies. The military also has a uniform that the military wears at public events outside the barracks, such as taking the oath. It consists of jacket, trousers, shirt, beret/hat, black socks and boots. Depending on the type of unit, the color of the uniform may differ.
According to the military department, updating the army’s uniform has now become a priority. This issue has already been postponed due to the Ukrainian conflict and the need to improve camouflage uniforms.
Ingo Goedehens, a member of the Budget Committee of the Bundestag, said €825 million was an “incredibly large amount” that raised many questions.
“Spending so much money on uniforms that will not make the Bundeswehr more fit for combat is an absurd prioritization,” he said.
