　　Upon the approval of the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and Chairman Hu Jintao, the PLA troops will wear the 07' new-type military uniforms in succession starting from August 1. It is a major event in the history of army building and fully embodies the concern and care shown by the CPC Central Committee, the Central Military Commission and Chairman Hu Jintao to all the officers and men of the PLA, and for that matter, it has greatly elated and inspired all the servicemen.

　　The 07' new-type military uniform includes ceremonial uniform, military service uniform, battle dress uniform and ensigns in four categories and 644 types. On the site of exhibition of the 07' new-type military uniforms, all types of uniforms feature modern design, harmonious and solemn colors, conformable and well-tailored sizes, and better fabrics and quality, be they ceremonial uniforms, military service uniforms and battle dress uniforms. By adding such ornaments as chest badge, name bar, ensign, defense service badge, arm badge and ribbon to the uniform, the PLA has realized standardization. The caps with curled-up-brim to be issued for the first time will present a more charming demeanor of the female solders.
