FOXHOUND equipment

Due to FOXHOUND's status as a Black Operations/Infiltration force in the U.S. Army, FOXHOUND doesn't have a formal wear while in a sneaking mission, nor do they possess anything that gives away their identity or nationality (such as insignias, military clothing labels, or instruction labels) while in a sneaking mission. Also, the only things that are allowed in a sneaking mission are a reactive radar and a wireless transciever. Everything else is procured on-site.

However, there are outfits and equipment that are allowed when not on a Sneaking Mission (such as direct warfare or while under military drills).

Uniform
As stated above, FOXHOUND, due to it's status as a Black Ops/infiltration force in the U.S. Army, does not have an official uniform such as a service uniform or a dress uniform. Instead, it only has a field uniform. The Field Uniform's camouflage pattern varies between regional types and regional climates. Also, underneath the Field Uniform is a specialized suit called a "Chameleon Suit" that is equipped with internal heat and luminous sensors as well as a special type of radar known as Chameleon Radar. It's name stems from the fact that it allows the operate to effectively blend in with the scenery, like a chameleon. Of the regions that the Chameleon suit can operate on, six have so far been identified.

Cold Regions:


 * Evergreen
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Forest Green, 30% Field Drab, 5% Sand, 5% Black, 30% chameleon.
 * Snowy
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Forest Green, 30% White, 5% Sand, 5% Black, 30% chameleon.

Hot Regions:


 * Tropical Rain Forest
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Forest Green, 30% Dark Green, 5% Light Green, 5% Black, 30% chameleon
 * Gray Deserts
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Sand, 30% Field Drab, 5% Earth Yellow, 5% Black, 30% chameleon
 * Red Deserts
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Forest Green, 30% White, 5% Sand, 5% Black, 30% chameleon

Urban:
 * Chameleon Index:
 * 30% Urban Gray, 30% White, 5% Dark Gray, 5% Black, 30% chameleon

Note that the Chameleon color changes to the corresponding surrounding.

Boots
FOXHOUND boots were developed under many advancements of Jungle and Combat Boots that various special forces have worn. The boots have a footstep silencing system which, as the name implies, suppresses footstep noises that would end up being fatal to the success of a sneaking mission, as well as a footstep jamming system to fool pursuing guards as to where an operative is going. The combat boots are installed with an iron plate in the case of traps such as bungee sticks.

Bandana
The primary purpose is to prevent sweat from dripping from the forehead, but it also acts as a coolant device and a heater, depending on the chemical reactions.

Gloves
Designed to decrease prespiration rate on the hands so as to prevent slipping due to sweat. Presumably used for missions that require Mountain Climbing.

Combat Gear

 * Ammunition belt
 * leather harness
 * low temperature ammo cases
 * flexible strings, suspenders
 * thermos
 * backpacks
 * others

Goggles
FOXHOUND operatives utilize specialized Goggles that are wind and sand resistant, as well as having infra-red sensors that also allows operatives to utilize them as night-vision goggles. It also has a miniature fan and temperature sensors that removes moisture on the lens when moisture condensation reaches 70%.

Binoculars
These are highly specialized binoculars that are installed with various NASA-developed planetary investigation gizmos. They are capable of seeing even what the normal human eye cannot see. However, these are rarely used due to their size and mass, as they are too heavy to carry.

Wireless Transciever
FOXHOUND Operatives often use satellites to communicate from anywhere around the world. It also utilizes burst-signal computers to communicate, so that the enemy will have a difficult time trying to decode transmissions, even when they are tapped in. These are the most important of equipment in an infiltration operation, as information is vitally important.

Wireless-only income
A Lightweight flexible income equipped with a high-ability microphone. It is capable of concentrating sounds without the need of a vocal microphone because of a device that picks up sound from vibrations in the earbones.

Mobile Object reactive radar
A reactive radar that was invented in 1998. It is able to determine and pinpoint anything moving in close range. Other than that, it can have various options installed. This was used during Operation Intrude N313 and Operation Intrude F014.

Parachute
With "untie inversion skirt net" used to prevent mishaps relating to opening in the reverse direction, this is essential for Low Altitude Skydiving. It can be opened at even low heights such as 150 meters above the ground. This is often used in operations where the only effective manner in trying to insert into enemy territory for sneaking missions is through low-altitude skydiving jumps such as HALO (Like Operation Intrude F014). It also is invisible to RADAR, so one doesn't have to worry about being spotted when performing a HALO jump.

Electro-magnetic Compass
A compass that was invented as a result of mono-pole theory. It is designed to work in areas that jam normal compasses (such as thick jungles).

Knife
Two types of Knives that are allowed in an operation, a Close-situation Combat Knife developed by FOXHOUND and a Survival Army Knife.
