Article: Uniforms of the Japanese Navy – Part 1 –
Information about the uniforms worn by Japanese Naval Landing Forces in both English and Japanese has received very little coverage. The small amount available has typically been poorly researched and resulted in the dissemination of false information ranging from egregious to niche. The purpose of this article is to dispel some of these fantasies, such as the notion that Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF) had specific uniforms and the creation uniform designations by summarizing the most common uniforms worn by Naval Landing Forces, including SNLF, Special Base Forces, Guard Units, etc, from the outbreak to the eventual conclusion of the Pacific War.
