'''Military uniform''' is the standardised [[costume]] worn by members of the [[armed forces]] and [[Paramilitary|paramilitaries]] of various nations. Military dress and military styles have gone through great changes over the centuries from colourful and elaborate to utilitarian [[Military camouflage|camouflage]] uniforms for field and battle purposes. Military uniforms in the form of standardised and distinctive dress, intended for identification and display, are typically a sign of organised military forces equipped by a central authority. Most military forces have developed several different uniform types.

Military personnel in most armed forces and some civilian officials may wear some or all of the following: [[combat uniform]], [[Service dress uniform|service dress]], [[dress uniform]], [[Full dress|full dress uniform]], [[mess dress]].
