The Colonial Soldier uniform is similar to a Colonial Warriors in many ways. The uniform consists of a two piece uniform with a thick zipped jacket worn over the top. This, unlike Colonial flight jackets, is usually worn closed as it provides slightly more protection from laser blasts. Thick gloves cover the hands, a solid helmet is worn on top which provides some protection from noise, explosions and fragments, and also contains a radio microphone for communications. Unlike a Colonial flight helmet, it does not contain a forcefield at the front and provides no protection against hostile environments.

A utility belt is worn (which usually contains a few solenite charges or grenades), and underneath that a typical weapon holster is worn. All soldiers carry a 250 kj laser pistol as standard, and frontline soldiers also carry the heavier 450 kj laser rifle. The rifle is not issued to support or auxillary personnel as the pistol is considered adequate protection for troops without the space to carry a full rifle. Packs holding heavier equipment are usually worn in combat situations.

Heavy durable boots round out the uniform.

Unit patches are worn on the right shoulder, and rank pins are worn along the collars.

Colours of the uniform are varied depending on the mission. Unlike Colonial Warriors, the Colonial Army does appreciate the use of camouflage and uniforms will be coloured to match the mission requirement. Desert patterns of light browns and tan and forest patterns of greens and browns are probably the most common, but artic patterns are also widely seen.

The actual diagram shows a typical Colonial Soldier. The absence of a laser rifle signifies that he is probably a unit commander of some sort, and the full set of rank pins means that he is in fact a Colonel.
