Before Rosgvard's uniform reformations, Rosgvard during urban policing used to wear blue variants of various Russian camouflages. Blue versions of Kukla (DPM) and Kamysh (Tigerstripe) were often optimized.

During military exercises, parades, and combat deployments, Rosgvard uses more greener versions of the aforementioned camouflage patterns. The standard camouflages of Rosgvard are ATACS FG and ATACS Moss (Russian domestic variant of ATACS). Rosgvard wears SURPAT on jackets occasionally. The Rosgvard uniform is either ATACS FG, ATACS Moss or SURPAT printed on a BDU shirt or jacket.[2]
