New Disruptive Pattern Navy Uniform
The Disruptive Pattern Navy Uniform (DPNU) will replace the grey Combat Coveralls; Action Working Dress (AWD) and the Boarding Party uniform.
The DPNU is a two-piece operational fire-retardant uniform to be worn by Royal Australian Navy (RAN) personnel in circumstances such as operations, working on or near machinery, in warehouses or other potentially dirty work environments, undertaking boarding party activities, and participating in strenuous training activities at sea and ashore.
DPNU can be worn in the public environment and may be worn off base in public places such as supermarkets, petrol stations, etc en route to and from the place of duty.
