SEAL OPERATOR UNIFORM, WEAPONS, AND EQUIPMENT SOP

1. PURPOSE & APPLICABILITY#

This SOP establishes the uniform, weapons, and equipment standards for all SEAL operators. These standards are not suggestions — they define the minimum required configuration for every operator in every operational environment. Deviations from this document require COC or command authorization prior to deployment.

This document covers three areas:

• Uniform standards by environment — Desert, Woodland, and Maritime/Ship Operations
• Weapons assignments by billet — Demolition, Breacher, Heavy Weapons, Mortars, Grenadier, Marksman
• Required base equipment carried by all operators regardless of billet

Applicability#

All SEAL operators. Standards apply from mission spin-up through exfiltration. No exceptions without command authorization.

Authority#

COC and Team Command. Deviations from weapon or equipment standards must be approved prior to departure.

CDD Standard#

Where 'CDD Variant' is specified, the item must be sourced from the approved CDD loadout list. Non-CDD items do not meet the standard regardless of visual similarity unless otherwise noted within this document.

Maximum Loadout Weight#

44 kg — No operator deploys over this limit. Weigh before departure — excess weight is corrected prior to movement, not after.

Demolition / Breacher / Heavy Weapons / Mortars: 48 kg. Demolition, Breacher, Heavy Weapons, and Mortar billets are authorized up to 48 kg to accommodate additional required equipment.

Important Note on Item Categories#

'Any' where listed in this document means any item within the authorized category — not any item in-game. If you are unsure whether a specific item qualifies, confirm with your COC before the operation launches.

2. PATCH STANDARDS#

Patch placement is standardized across all SEAL operators regardless of environment. Patches are worn consistently on all uniform configurations unless the operational environment specifically prohibits external identification markings.

Callsign Patch — Placement Rule#

The callsign patch on the body is worn in one of two positions — front of plate carrier or top of left arm. Both positions are authorized. Only one may be used per operator per operation. Do not place callsign patches in both positions simultaneously.

Morale Patch Note#

Morale patches are authorized at the bottom of either arm. There is no restriction on content beyond basic unit conduct standards. Use the space — it is one of the few areas of individual expression in an otherwise standardized loadout.

3. UNIFORM — DESERT ENVIRONMENT (AOR1)#

The AOR1 uniform configuration is the required standard for all desert operational environments. AOR1 is the primary pattern. Where pouches are concerned, a mix of AOR1 and Multicam is authorized — all other components must be AOR1.

4. UNIFORM — WOODLAND ENVIRONMENT (MULTICAM)#

The Multicam configuration is the required standard for all woodland operational environments. Unlike the desert configuration, no pattern mixing is authorized — all components must be Multicam.

Pattern Discipline#

The woodland configuration does not authorize mixed patterns. An operator showing up to a woodland operation in AOR1 components is non-compliant and must correct their loadout before departure. This is not discretionary.

5. UNIFORM — MARITIME / SHIP OPERATIONS (AOR2)#

The AOR2 configuration is the required standard for all maritime and ship-based operations. Due to the nature of maritime operations, two plate carrier configurations are authorized — operators select one based on mission requirements and COC guidance.

Base Uniform#

Plate Carrier Configuration — Select One#

6. WEAPONS BY BILLET#

Primary weapon assignments are determined by billet. Operators carry the weapon assigned to their billet unless a mission-specific exception is authorized by the COC prior to departure. Sidearms are unrestricted — any authorized sidearm is permitted for all billets.

Primary Weapons by Billet#

Sidearms#

Any sidearm is authorized for all billets. Sidearm selection is at the operator's discretion. Operators must carry a minimum of 2 sidearm magazines regardless of sidearm selection — see Section 9.

Authorization Note: Alternate weapon employment for Standard Operators requires COC acknowledgment before departure. Operators do not self-authorize a weapon swap based on personal preference. The criteria above must be met and confirmed.

Maritime Configuration Note#

Both plate carrier options are fully authorized for ship operations. If mission-specific guidance is issued by the COC prior to departure, that guidance supersedes operator preference. When no guidance is issued, the operator selects their configuration.

7. REQUIRED EQUIPMENT — ALL BILLETS#

The following equipment is required for every SEAL operator on every operation, regardless of billet, environment, or mission type. This is the base standard. Mission-specific equipment may be added on top of this list — nothing on this list may be removed without command authorization.

Navigation#

Ammunition#

Medical#

Signals & Smoke#

Grenades#

Detainee & Entry#

Mobility#

ATAK#

ATAK is required for leadership but strongly recommended for all billets. Operators without an ATAK are responsible for maintaining positional awareness through the map and compass. Lack of an ATAK does not excuse loss of positional awareness during the operation.

Ammunition Note#

The 8-magazine standard applies to all primary weapons regardless of caliber. Heavy Weapons operators carry weapon-appropriate ammunition load confirmed during mission spin-up.

Demolition Operator Kit & Load#

The Demolition Operator carries the following as standard. Nobody else on the element is expected to carry the defusal kit — it is the operator's to manage.

KIT STANDARD: 2× demo charges + wire-cutters + 2–5 vehicle charges.

Without the wire-cutters the operator cannot defuse a device. Confirm the full kit is loaded before load-in.

Breacher Operator Kit & Load#

Charge Load — Standard Loadout

• 1x Lock Pick Set
• 1x Breaching Detonator
• X Door Charges
• X Breaching Charge
• X Shape Charge
• X Push Charge
• X Wall Charge

X marks are mission dependent. Base your kit off of the mission you will be deploying on.

Heavy Weapons#

The M4 MAAWS may be carried by one of the heavy weapons operators, both, or neither based on mission requirements. CoC shall dictate based on the situation at hand. Additional rounds may be designated to be carried by other personnel if required.

Standard Loadout (if using MAAWS)

• M4 MAAWS - Condition 4
• GRS MAAWS Pack
• 3x 84mm HEAT 551 Rounds
• 2x 84mm HE 441D Rounds
• 2x 84mm ADM 401 Canister Rounds (If enemy has rotary assets)

Mortars#

An A-Gunner shall be assigned by CoC to assist in carrying additional ammunition. Ammunition amount carried will be dictated by CoC per mission requirements.

Standard Loadout

• M224A1
• 8x M720A1 HE
• 2x M720A1 WP or Illum (day & night dependent)

Grenadier#

The Grenadier role shall be utilized by the Team Leaders.
