Is it just tradition or is there a true reason?

My young babies college has a uniform. It finally ends up being the form you place on it as to which group you're in eg:collar up or down , black wristband and so on despite if it actually takes longer to make certain who's wherein group and hence greater time to get to be conscious of the human beings from different communities better.

It is another way to bond a unit of the military. They recognize the uniform of a fellow soldier. Each branch likes to be different & unique.
I guess if they got lost they could look for the color - just kidding. I am a proud mother of an Army Ranger.

Tradition

Traditional, but to hold up a different appearance. To be distinguished from each branch of the service. Only in the branch you serve in were there is present a great sense of uniformity.

Each group is for a different kind of military combat. The navy defends the sea, the air force defends the air, the army defends the ground, etc.
It's perfectly logical that these should be color coded, because for one thing, they have different purposes, and for another, they don't like being confused with eachother. it has to do with their pride.

It's partly tradition, partly for easy identification. It is interesting to note, though, that the color of the formal dress uniform for all four branches (yes, even the Army) is the same: blue.

the reason for the different colors of uniform is to distinguish between the Branch's, because the covers that are on there heads for example the beret is for the army, patrol cap is for the air force, the 5 pointed patrol cap is for the navy and the marines.

actually the green battle dress uniform (BDU) is one uniform that all four branches have been issued.
