Marines, Sailors get upgrades to flame resistant uniform

United States Marine Corps Systems Command is working with the Navy to update the Enhanced Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble, the latest upgrade to the Corps’ Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble. EFRCE is made with a new flame resistant material blend that allows the uniform to self-extinguish, reducing the incidence and severity of burn injuries.

Marines will soon receive updated flame resistant uniforms, making them less susceptible to severe burns.
The Enhanced Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble is the latest upgrade to the Corps’ Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble inventory, updating a long-sleeve shirt and trousers with a new flame resistant material that allows the uniform to self-extinguish reducing the incidence and severity of burn injuries. The system upgrade was developed in partnership with the Navy and will be issued to Marines and Sailors assigned to Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and Naval Special Warfare Command as they deploy. “Marine Corps Systems Command conducted industry research and found that there are better and more durable materials available that did not sacrifice protection or comfort,” said John Bauer, textile technologist for Infantry Combat Equipment at MCSC. “This means that instead of issuing four uniforms to every Marine for every deployment, we can now field two that will last for the same period. This lightens the load for Marines and saves money.”
