"At this time, we are rag-tag until we fully fill the supply for common items.

BDU pattern is probably still the majority of surplus (milsurp) to be found.

If ACU and MARPAT are found in sufficient quantity to issue to all members, we can go with that.

"I'd go for two symbols, one on each shoulder. One (prolly the right arm) depicts rank, while the one on the left is your personal insignia for quick identification."

"But here is the question. Uniforms, standardized weapons and insignia are great, but they're all the traits of professional military. Consider that - if we bump into someone else, do we want to give them the impression that we're a miserable ramshackle unit, so they under estimate us, or, do we want to look professional and aggressive, frightening some potential attackers but also making us a significant threat for other outposts, which could eventually cause some raider attacks...

To cut it down:

The people you'll scare are the people you dont want to scare...The people you want to scare, won't be scared...And pretty much everyone wants to jump you for the challenge, or for your stuff.

Also, its better to never put all your cards on the table.
