The Detachment Commandant should ensure that all members and
associate members wear in the manner prescribed, those uniform
articles and accessories authorized in the National Bylaws. No
variation(s) of the prescribed uniforms are authorized. In case
of inclement weather (rain, snow, sleet, or cold), the local
detachment or department commandants may authorize appropriate
outer wear to be worn over the Marine Corps League Uniform.
Proposed changes to the Uniform Code must be submitted through
the Bylaws and Administrative Procedures amendment process.
Articles of uniform prescribed for the Military Order of Devil
Dogs (MODD) in enclosure 3 of the Bylaws are not addressed in
this section and will be updated at a later time.
The word "uniform" is defined as "(1) Always the same, as in
character or degree; unvarying (2) Conforming to one principle,
standard, or rule; consistent". Wearing the Marine Corps League
uniform should be a matter of personal pride to all members and
associate members. Uniforms prescibed in enclosure 3 of the
National Bylaws are considered appropriate to preserve the
respect and dignity of the Marine Corps League and the United
States Marine Corps.
There is the basic uniform and three types of full uniforms -
casual, undress (summer/winter), and formal. Full uniforms for
women and for associate members share similar guidelines with
some variations. Click on the links below to learn more
