Flame Resistant Organizational Gear (FROG) is clothing used by the United States Marine Corps to reduce the number of injuries resulting from fire and flash (especially burns), due to the increased use of improvised explosive devices in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The shirts and trousers are camouflaged in MARPAT, while the remainder are colored in either sand or olive drab.
In 2009, the shift of focus from Iraq to Afghanistan led to the development of cold-weather clothing.
In May 2010, the Marine Corps Times featured an article addressing the base FROG's lack of durability, citing that regular laundering in Afghanistan leads to clothing failure within weeks, instead of the designed year.
When exposed to water or sweat and improperly dried, the fabric would become brittle and seams would fail significantly with little stress.
