Editing Red Serge (section)

== Constables and non-commissioned officers ==
Constables (Cst) and [[Non-commissioned officer|non-commissioned officers]] (NCOs) wear the red serge tunic with midnight blue gorget patches on their collars and [[epaulette]]s in the same colour. Metal collar dogs of the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] badge are worn on the neck. Constables and NCOs wear embroidered firearms qualification badges on the bottom of their left sleeve, and their embroidered specialist trade badge on the right sleeve. If a second specialist badge is earned, the least current is worn below the firearms qualification badges.  Embroidered NCO rank badges of  [[corporal]] (Cpl) and [[sergeant]] (Sgt) are worn on the right sleeve below the specialist trade badge (if any). Staff sergeant (S/Sgt), staff sergeant major (S/S/M), sergeant major (S/M), and corps sergeant major (C/S/M) are worn on the bottom of the right sleeve. With RCMP badges, no badge is worn directly above a badge containing a crown. Service stars, each designating 5 years of service, are worn on the left sleeve.

In "review order," the riding breeches ([[jodhpurs]]) are "midnight blue" (virtually black) which bulge at the thigh in keeping with traditional cut with a yellow strapping (stripe) down the outside seam of each leg, and laced closed beneath the boots. The breeches are worn with [[suspenders|braces]]. Finishing off the Red Serge are brown leather [[riding boot]]s, known as high browns or Strathcona boots, with spurs, and a brown wide-brimmed felt [[campaign hat]] with a glass-flat brim. The side-arm, if worn, is carried in a brown leather holster on a brown [[Sam Browne belt]]. (As of 2024, weapons are either a [[Smith & Wesson Model 5906|Smith & Wesson model 5946]] or 3953.) There is a brown leather pouch for carrying handcuffs and another for two spare pistol magazines. The constable, corporal, sergeant, and staff sergeant Sam Browne cross strap travels over the left shoulder. A sergeant major may have a whistle and chain on the cross strap.  A white pistol [[lanyard]] is worn around the neck and connected to the side arm.  "Review order" may be worn with "full" Sam Browne, or "stripped" Sam Browne where no lanyard, pistol, holster, or pouches are worn.  Female RCMP members formerly wore a modified version of the Red Serge for review order without the high collar but now wear the same pattern of tunic as their male colleagues.

"Walking-out order" is worn for more formal occasions. Walking-out order consists of the felt hat; scarlet serge tunic; blue overalls; box spurs; congress boots; brown leather gloves; ceremonial belt and buckle; medals and decorations as ordered.
