"Storia ed evoluzione dell'Uniforme Militare"

Immagine Postata

La storia dell'uniforme militare comincia solo nel secolo XVII. Le premesse tecniche per la produzione di uniformi furono create dall'espansione industriale. In quell'epoca era già scomparsa l'armatura dei cavalieri, e se gli alti ufficiali ne portavano ancora qualche componente, ciò aveva solo significato simbolico. Nel suo modo di combattere, il dragone del XVI secolo era più che altro un fante a cavallo. Nella Guerra dei Trent'anni l'abbigliamento dei militari dei vari eserciti in lizza era ancora diversificato e l'unico valido segno di riconoscimento tra i membri di un determinato reggimento o reparto era il colore della sciarpa. La prima uniforme militare fu introdotta dal re svedese Gustavo Adolfo, nel quadro del suo riuscito tentativo di creare un esercito ben disciplinato e regolarmente pagato, che non fosse temuto dai civili come una banda di briganti. Poi, nel 1670, Luigi XIV ordinò uniformi omogenee per le parate delle sue truppe: colore, materiale e taglio dei vestiti, numero dei bottoni, insegne e guarnizioni furono prescritte con esattezza. Ma molti stati europei attesero ancora un intero secolo per seguire l'esempio della più grande potenza dell'epoca. Dapprima fu deciso l'uso dell'uniforme solo per i soldati semplici e, per qualche decennio ancora, agli ufficiali fu concesso di vestirsi secondo la propria fantasia. Nel secolo XVIII, quando furono creati nuovi tipi di uniformi, le varie armi e i singoli reparti cominciarono a distinguersi, oltre che per l'organizzazione, anche per l'abbigliamento. La guerra russo-giapponese, dimostrando l'importanza della mimetizzazione nei combattimenti terrestri, impose l'uso dei colori neutri nelle uniformi, che da quell'epoca cominciarono a prediligere il cachi e il grigioverde. Le esperienze dei successivi conflitti hanno portato a ulteriori razionalizzazioni nel taglio, negli accessori, e hanno praticamente eliminato ogni differenza tra l'uniforme dei soldati e quella di campagna degli ufficiali di qualsiasi grado.

Volendo creare un topic apposito dove riunire tutte le Uniformi che hanno fatto la storia dei nostri e degli altri paesi, esorto tutti gli utenti a contribuire in modo da effettuare una ricostruzione storica collettiva. Unico appunto rivolto a tutti è quello di partecipare, apponendo la storia dell'eventuale "Divisa" apportata alla discussione, evitando di postare la foto senza un minimo cenno storico, in modo da creare un vero e proprio sommario.

101st Airborne Men during the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944

Immagine Postata

The NCO left is a member of the 101st Airborne Signal Company, evidenced by his helmet markings consisting of a square with the tic at the 3 o'clock position. Under his overcoat he wears a reinforced M42 jump jacket for additional warmth. Trousers are the M43 model with added pockets and straps. By now double buckle boots have replaced the jump boots. Armament consists of a folding stock M1A1 Carbine and a captured Luger. Ammo for the carbine is carried in a white washed ammo bandoleer. An M3 trench knife is strapped to his right leg.
The Captain from HQ/501 Parachute Infantry Regiment has camouflaged his helmet with large green spots. This helmet is without doubt a replacement since it has swivel bales. He wears the standard M43 jacket with type 9 Eagle patch and has a K-ration stashed away in his upper right pocket. Rank insignia is only worn on the shirt collar and consists of Captain's bars and numbered 501 Officers crossed rifles. He has obtained a pair of Kersey Lined Trousers. Shoe Pacs keep his feet warm and dry. Equipment is basic Officers' rig with .45 pistol and M3 trench knife. A parachute first aid kit is strapped to the knife's sheath.
At their feet is a wooden chest containing M9A1 Anti Tank Rifle Grenades.

Above - Three camouflage uniforms that were worn by the airborne. On the right is a two-piece, TTsKO camouflage. Center is the one-piece, cotton KLMK coveralls. The individual on the left is wearing the two-piece, burlap KZS clothing.

"Камуфлированный летний маскировочный комбинезон" or "camouflaged summer deceptive coveralls" is commonly known by its abbreviation "KLMK". Though manufactured in limited production in other camouflage patterns prior to 1968, the coveralls were commonly seen in the two-color, stair-step camouflage used by the Soviet Armed Forces. In 1969, this camouflage pattern was introduced and issued to special purpose forces. This garment is made of a plain-weave, cotton fabric. The colors of the camouflage are light-gray "stair-step" splotches over a mid to dark green background. The soldier in the center in the photo on the left is wearing these coveralls.

"Костюм защитной сети" or "camouflaged net outfit" Better known as "KZS," this garment is a two-piece uniform that entered sevice in the mid-1970's. KZS is intended to be a low-cost overgarment that provided a quick means of camouflage. It can be put on easily and can be disposed of once back from a mission. This uniform is made of burlap and the camouflage pattern is the same "stair-step" pattern as the KLMK uniform. The colors used in the camouflage runs the gamut of earth tones. The soldier to the far left of the photo on the left is wearing the KZS uniform.

"Трехцветная камуфлированная одежда " or "three-coloured camouflaged clothes," introduced in 1981 was highly kept secret from the West by the Soviet Union until the 1985 parade day celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Great Patriotic War. This pattern is clearly a use of the US ERDL pattern camouflage. There are two TTsKO camouflages, one with a brown base and another with a lime green base. This camouflage did not see as much action in Afghanistan as KZS or KLMK but it did see its way into the Chechen conflict. It is still used in limited quantites today and has a derivative in use by the Ukrainians. This is originally a Soviet camouflage and would have most likely seen more service if the Soviet Union would not have collapsed. The soldier to the far right of the photo on the left is wearing the TTsKO pattern uniform

The Soviets were traditionally issued overcoats for winterwear. In World War Two, the overcoat proved to be a very hindering garment to wear in combat. A two piece padded uniform was created that vastly increased the individual's mobility and also their warmth. Though overcoats are still issued, a two piece winter set is still manufactured and issued for combat use but looks nowhere like its Second World War predecessor. The current winter uniform is a two piece, lined jacket and trousers. The first models were tan and later variants were camouflaged in TTsKO. The jacket itself is made of cotton and has four pockets on the body and has one small pocket on the upper part of each sleeve. The button plaquette is covered with the exception of the throat button. The jacket lining is removable or can be attached for additional warmth and has a gray fur collar that is exposed over the collar of the jacket.
The trousers are the same in which they too are lined. Also made of cotton, they have a pocket on each thigh and have draw-in ties on each cuff of the leg. Suspenders help support the trousers. The three men in the illustration on the left are wearing the two piece winter uniform. The man on the right is wearing the set in TTsKO camouflage.

This soldier is wearing the standard tan, padded winter uniform which consisted of a jacket, trousers and mittens. This jacket has a removable liner and has a faux fur collar that can be turned up to protect the wearer's head from the freezing cold. There is a version of this winter uniform manufactured in the TTsKO camouflage. He is also wearing the enlisted fur cap ушанка, "ushanka" with the standard enameled insignia on its face. This soldier carries the standard infantry rifle of the Soviet Armed Forces; the AK-74. The bayonett for his AK is seen on the left side of his belt. This particular model of bayonett is intended for use with the AK-74 and it can also be mounted on the AKM series of rifles. The scabbard and handle is encased in rust colored bakelite. His field gear consists of the faux leather, brown belt with brass buckle, canteen and 4-celled, tan magazine pouch. The magazine pouch holds up to an additional 120 rounds of 5,45 mm ammunition. The pouch also holds stripper clips for ammunition, rifle cleaning kit and oiler.

This US Navy Boatswain wears the appropriate clothing to protect himself from the cold and damp nights in the Channel. His helmet is the standard M1 Fix-bale type painted gray in Navy fashion. Over his clothing, he has the USN Wet weather Parka to protect him from the salty water and wears the USN N1 Winter Trousers for warmth. Footwear consists of USN Overshoes. Rather than the USN blue life vest, he has a M1926 USN lifebelt which allows him more freedom of movement in the confined spaces of a Landing Craft. A piece of white parachute silk protects his neck from the gusting winds. A pair of USN Rubberized Mittens and a N1 Winter helmet attached to the jacket's tie cords complete his uniform.

T5 Troop Type Parachute used on D-Day

Immagine Postata

This T5 Troop Type Parachute is a typical example of the chutes used by US Airborne Forces in the invasion of France. The harness is made of yellowish straps, while the SOA is green. The item is displayed with a B4 Type USAAF Life Preserver and the M1942 Jump Jacket worn by Pvt Daniel J Murphy of S2 Section/Regtl HQ/501PIR. Murphy was one of Col Johnson's bodyguards and survived the war to become a Police Officer and PI. The reinforcements on the elbows and lower pockets are made of tan heavy canvas rather than the usual green/gray color.

Once the Soviets started to abandon the stale and archaic military thinking that was greatly influenced by the second world war, the Soviets became more practical and began using the experiences gained by the at-the-time new conflict in Afghanistan. One of the first advancements that came from this war was a new uniform that was better suited to aid the soldier in a modern war. This uniform was designed with more pockets to help with carrying more gear. There are not many photos with this uniform and it was almost immediately replaced with the second model, tan uniform.

Immagine Postata

Known as the \"Afghanistan\" uniform, the jacket and trousers are made of tan cotton twill. Just like the first model, the jacket has pockets, but unlike the first model, it has four pockets instead of two and the buttons on the pockets are covered. The trousers have drawstrings at the cuffs and external cargo pockets on the thighs. This is the most common model uniform seen in Afghanistan. The jacket tightens at the waist with a single steel buckle and strap. The trousers have drawstrings at the cuffs and external cargo pockets on the thighs and a special knife pocket on the right thigh. A two-piece, cotton camouflage uniform also existed in the same pattern, but was issued in Afghanistan in VERY limited numbers. The camouflage pattern is TTsKO (Трехцветная камуфлированная одежда).

Insignia - Insignia, including rank, was not commonly worn on the combat uniform (limited exceptions did exist). Obvious reasons being that an individual or an entire unit can be singled out by the enemy. It was standard Soviet practice to go into combat without any identifying insignia on their uniform. Written Soviet combat accounts and photographic evidence confirms this fact.

Civilian Clothing
- Civilian clothing was used in a limited capacity out in the field. Items such as sweaters, blue jeans, suspenders, belts and sneakers were usually sent from home and worn by personel in the field. Due to lack of uniform discipline in the field, different civilian clothing items were seen on soldiers.

Тельняшка - Originally a naval garment , this is the most identifiable article of clothing of the Soviet paratrooper, Spetsnaz and various other Soviet special forces (a version of this shirt with green stripes exists for the KGB border guards). The difference between the naval and airborne shirts is that the blue stripes on the airborne version is in their branch color, a lighter blue color (cornflower blue). This cotton knit shirt has blue a white horizontal stripes the entire length of the shirt. A long sleeve and short sleeve version exsist for the navy and no sleeve version is the version used for the airborne.

Prior to Afghanistan, the Soviet Army used 4-celled ammunition pouches on thir equipment belt. Soviet troops were largely mechanised infantry who would ride into battle in armoured fighting vehicles, then dismount and clear up any survivors of the stattering artillery barrage delivered before hand."

"When they met the counter-revolutionary elements in Afghanistan, the enemy was equipped with Chinese gear. The Chinese had long used chest mounted webbing. The Soviets discovered that in this new type of warfare, the chestrig offered big benefits. Initially they used captured Chicom webbing, then they made their own "bras" (as the Soviets called them) and finally in 1984 (approx.) they started to be issued with Soviet factory made ones. In about 1988 this design changed."

For the first time in the history of the Soviet armed forces, Soviet soldiers used a wide variety of armored flak jackets for individual protection during the Afghanistan war. At the start of the war, there were not enough flak jackets for everyone. Therefore, flak jackets were issued to soldiers going into direct combat or to those on combat duty. The first battles proved that flak jackets reduced fatalities by two or three times. This made the procurement of sufficient flak jackets a priority, and, by the end of 1988, all the personnel of the 40th Army had flak jackets."

"There were five flak jacket models issued during the war. The first model was the Zh-R1 issued in 1980. It weighed four kilograms and was fairly comfortable; however, it failed to provide adequate protection. The 6B3 and YaB4 flak jackets were developed to correct the shortcomings of the Zh-R1. They were issued in 1983 and 1984 and proved more capable of stopping an aimed bullet. However, they both weighed about 10.5 kilograms (23.15 pounds) and were very uncomfortable when worn in the mountains or when it was hot."

"In 1985-1986, the Soviets began issuing the Zh-85t and Zh-85k flack jackets. They weighed about 7.5 kilograms (16.5 pounds) and provided chest protection from a bullet fired at the front and spinal protection from fragments impacting in the back. But the area of the body that these flak jackets covered was inadequate. Therefore, these flak jacketswere replaced in 1988 with the Zh-86 single-piece flak jacket that covers 1.6 times more body area. The Zh-86 uses titanium alloys, ceramic armor, and specialty steel."
