On January 15, 1943, by Order No. 25, a new sample of the tunic was introduced for soldiers and officers. Uniform was similar to the shirt worn in the Imperial Army. It had a stand-up collar fastened by two buttons. It was worn with trousers and a belt. Officer tunics included two breast pockets. Soldier tunics did not have pockets. The cut of the trousers did not change. The main feature was wearing epaulettes, which had been abandoned in 1918.
