Uniform Requirements
Below is a list of required items that you will need to complete the basic field impression. Our goal is to strive for the highest levels of authenticity while keeping costs at the minimum for new recruits interested in joining our ranks. This is what sets our unit apart from those who prefer the more expensive "cookie cutter" impression. If an individual is interested in this hobby, the 36th ID is willing to provide loaner equipment for a tactical battle of the individuals choice*.
We have included picture examples of the gear we use. You will find vendors of original and reproduction uniforms and equipment on the Links Page.
*Individual is responsible for his food, ammo and associated fees.
