battledress
Soldier's field attire
Battledress is military uniform designed for combat rather than ceremonial occasions, typically sturdy, practical, and camouflaged or drab-colored.
The term arose in the early twentieth century to distinguish field uniforms from the more elaborate dress uniforms worn on parade.
The soldiers changed into battledress before the exercise.
In casual use, battledress can describe any rugged, utilitarian clothing that suggests readiness for action.
