Finland has begun fielding Combat Uniform System M23 for the Jaeger Brigade, Lapland Air Command and Lapland Border Guard as a replacement for the M05 ensemble.
Developed in conjunction with Norway, Denmark, and Sweden under the Nordic Combat Uniform program, it is supplied by Norwegian system integrator Oskar Pedersen AS. The system does not include headgear, gloves, footwear, or PPE.
The system components are common across the program’s participants with outer layers printed in national camouflage patterns as seen here with the M05 pattern.
According to a release by the Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command, initial fielding is with the Jaeger Brigade in Sodankylä and Rovaniemi, the Lapland Air Command in Rovaniemi and the Lapland Border Guard’s Border Jaeger Company in Ivalo with underwear, and insulation layers. In addition, the camouflage suit, rainsuit and combat shirt included in the m system will be issued later. As holiday and deployment equipment, conscripts still wear the current M05 camouflage uniform.
The rugged simplicity and efficiency of Finnish military procurement is a breath of fresh air. It’s what happens when the overwhelming requirements of a conscript army collide with a leadership, government and culture that’s devoted to its nation’s sons and daughters.
There is very little ‘fat’ in their gear and vehicle selection processes, and it shows.
This was a simple project that started back in 2016…
