Military Applications
As with Tactical, Military has its own traditional preferences. The single most important of these is an apparently strong desire to spend as much time as possible crawling around. They like extremely low profiles and as little burlap as possible between the ghillie user and the ground. And they like simple: no particular frills, no time wasted getting into or out of the units. They tend to be a very serious group of people, operating at long distances with likewise serious stuff.

To accommodate these inclinations, Military Suits have limited burlap on the front (to discourage snagging) and no ventilation tubes in the standard hoods (to lower the ground profile). The hoods are detachable to allow the hood to move to preserve binocular vision when needed and movement of the head without moving the hood when that is needed. The trousers are one-piece units, allowing them to be stepped into with minimal time and effort expended.

There are, of course, two styles:

1. The Light Military Ghillie is by far our more popular suit. The parka weighs about 8 pounds, has very little burlap on the front, but comes standard with:
   • padded cordura arm and chest skids
     
   • detachable hood
     
   • draw strings on the hood, sleeves and waist
     
   • thumb loops
     
   • a double snap flap closure for the lower face and neck
     
   • a cordura zipper flap that runs down the length of the front seam
   • inside breast pockets
   
   The pants are a combination of LTG leg chaps and leg pads, sewn together around the same rip-stop woven mesh as is used for the parka. They feature:
   • two-inch wide, adjustable elastic suspenders permanently attached to the trousers to eliminate opening or discomfort while crawling
   • one-inch web belts and side release buckles for tightening the leggings (one on each leg)
   • the burlap coverage is firmly attached on the BACK of the trousers
   • the crawling pads are firmly attached to the FRONT of the trousers
   • zippers at the ankles allow for quick release at that point to slip the trousers on or off over boots or shoes without requiring that the wearer readjust the ankle tightening
   • zipper at the fly
   
   
   
2. The Full Military Ghillie is built on BDU's built by us to assure that no signature stamping has taken place. The buttons on the jacket are replaced by a full-length zipper, tucked behind the flap. We add chest vents and a back vent in our mesh. Pockets are sewn in below the chest vents to allow quick access to magazines. Other features of this suit include:
   • front crawl panels (cordura over batting) cover from the top of these pockets down to the bottom of the jacket
   • arm pads cover from behind the elbow to the wrist
   • detachable hood
   • wrist, hood, and ankle draw strings
   • thumb loops
   • a double snap flap closure for the lower face and neck
     
   • a cordura zipper flap that runs down the length of the front seam
   
   The trousers are built on BDU's, also. They feature:
   • two-inch wide, adjustable elastic suspenders permanently attached to the trousers to eliminate opening or discomfort while crawling
   • one-inch web belts and side release buckles for tightening the leggings (one on each leg)
   • the burlap coverage is firmly attached to the BACK of the trousers
   • the crawling pads are firmly attached to the FRONT of the trousers
   • zippers at the ankles allow for quick release at that point to slip the trousers on or off over boots or shoes without requiring that the wearer readjust the ankle tightening
   • zipper at the fly
   
   Vegetation tie-strings, wrist cartridge or ballistic chart holders, etc. are optional on either suit.

Orders for the FMG must specify BDU sizes (jacket and trousers) and camo pattern desired.
