Combats Online launched April 2025: Order your operational clothing items online

May 21, 2025 - Defence Stories

Since April 28, 2025, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members can order some operational clothing items through the Logistik Unicorp web-based portal, Combats Online (you are now leaving the Government of Canada website). Similar to the existing Clothing Online system, CAF members will use points as currency to order replacement items or to acquire optional items that are not distributed as part of their initial personal equipment issue. Once ordered, the items will be delivered directly to CAF members. Available clothing items will be rolled-out in phases to ensure sufficient stock for CAF members. This new modernized approach will improve resource and inventory management, reduce recurring shortages issues, and improve overall operational efficiency.

Items will vary between individuals based on their rank, element, unit of employment, and operational requirements. An annual maximum limit for each article of clothing and accessory has been set. This limit also varies between high, normal, and low use categories (for example, units identified as high or normal use will have higher annual entitlements for articles than the low categories).

All Active CAF members who belong to units categorized as low use or normal use will receive an annual point allocation of 300 points every April 1st, and all active CAF members who belong to units categorized as high use will receive an annual point allocation of 300 points every April 1st, with a supplemental allocation of 200 points every October 1st, for an annual total of 500 points. Individual point balances can be found on the Home page once logged into the system.

Phase One of Combats Online will contain the following items:

• Badges, patches & insignias (nametapes, rank, organization, trade, skills, etc.)
• Balaclava – Canadian Army
• Base layers (tops, bottoms, drawers) – Canadian Army
• Belt
• Knit cap – Canadian Army
• Laces
• Neck gaiter – Canadian Army
• Socks
• Undershirt
• Underwear

Combat uniforms (CADPAT and Naval Enhanced Combat Uniform), hijabs, and kippahs will not be available via Combats Online until a later Phase Two of the project. Similarly, the toque, balaclava, neck gaiter, and base layers for the Royal Canadian Air Force will also not be available until Phase Two. CAF members should continue to visit their local Supply Section/Clothing Stores for any items not listed above.
