Dress Uniform - Argentina

Argentina

In the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic, the Argentine Federal Police, Argentine National Gendarmrie and Naval Prefecture, dress uniforms are worn during military and civil occasions, especially for the Military bands and color guards. They are a reminder of the military and law enforcement history of Argentina, especially during the early years of nationhood and the wars of independence that the country was a part.

The Argentine Army's regimental dress uniforms date back from the 19th century, and are best worn by the Regiment of Patricians, the Horse Grenadiers Regiment, and the 1st Artillery Group in the Buenos Aires Garrison. But the full dress uniform of the Argentine Army as a whole is green with a visor cap, epaulettes, sword set and scabbard (for officers), long green pants, a black belt, and black shoes or boots.

The Argentine Navy dress uniform is a navy blue polo shirt with a visor cap, epaulettes and sleeve rank marks (for Admirals), a sword set and scabbard for officers, blue long pants, a belt and black leather shoes or boots.

For the Argentine Air Force, a similar uniform to one used by the Royal Air Force is used however the color used is much brighter.
