#MatNewsGroup - On June 6th, 2024, the Canadian Combat Uniform Ensemble (CCUE) user trials have ended at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, marking an important milestone for the Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization (SOCEM) initiative.  The CCUE clothing system is a versatile, multi-layer insulation system that has been designed to function in multiple climates, including cold weather, allowing soldiers to adapt to different mission requirements and environmental conditions. The system includes:    ·       underwear and base layers;  ·       a basic combat layer;  ·       insulation layers;  ·       a rain layer;  ·       outer layers; and   ·       a winter camouflage layer.    More than 100 Canadian Army (CA) members and 25 Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) members, half of them women, from various occupations participated in this trial to evaluate the operational effectiveness of this clothing system in various operational settings, helping to provide realistic and applicable feedback for future designs. The trial was broken into two phases:    ·       a cold weather trial from January to March 2024  ·       a warm weather trial from March to June 2024    Improvements to the fit, form, and function of operational clothing like the CCUE is an important investment into the operational effectiveness of our most valuable resource: our people.     #WellEquipped
