Adjustierung

K.u.k. Adjustation instruction (de: Adjustierungsvorschrift), edition 1912.

Adjustierung (literally: adjustation, Austria Dienstkleidung 'service dress') is any uniform of the Austrian armed forces. It is derived from the German (Austrian) verb adjustieren (Austria: ausrüsten, 'equip'[1]). Another historical term used for military uniforms, e.g. in the Austro-Hungarian Army (1867–1918), was Montur, and in the Prussian Army Montierung.

Today the Austrian Armed Forces (Bundesheer) discriminates the different kinds of Adjustierung as follows:

  • Paradeadjustierung ('parade adjustation')
  • Marschadjustierung / Feldadjustierung ('march adjustation' / 'field adjustation')
  • Gebirgsadjustierung (en: 'mountain adjustation')

In the German armed forces (Bundeswehr term is Anzugsordnung ('dress order'). Until 1945, the term Waffenrock was commonly used.
