  In 1965, the standing committee of Chinese National People's Congress decided to abolish the military mark system, and the corresponding change was that both officers and soldiers all wore liberation caps with a round top and front brim on which a metal red pentagram shape badge was attached. Army jackets had five buttons and a stand collar on which a red flag badge was sewn at the two ends of collar. The army uniform had no shoulder mark or arm badge or any kind of military marks. The differences between officer and soldier uniform were the mate 5als and the pocket design. For officers above main platoon rank, uniforms used wool-dacron textile and there were four pockets in the front garment piece. Those under the rank of vice platoon were treated as soldiers. Their uniform used cotton textile and there were only two upper pockets. There were no army type skirts and brimless caps for female soldiers and their uniform style was similar to male soldiers' uniform. The color for land army uniform was olive green, for air force was green for upper clothes mad blue for pants and for navy was grey. The stand collar uniform jacket of three armies was generally called "service dress" (There was no full dress at that time) and the most typical army green was the dominant color.

    Since Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) began, the image of liberation army uniform had become the most revolutionary, pure and reliable symbol. The trend started with army men's children turning out their father's uniform and soon the image of green army uniform with brown leather belt became to lead the trend. Following that, universities and high schools all over the country one after another founded the "Red Guard" organization; primary schools founded "Little Red Guard" organization, and workers and farmers started to set up "Red Guard Team." Everyone was supposed to take the responsibility of a soldier. Because they couldn't find the true uniforms, Red Guards then bought the army uniform reproductions, which were generally called the service dress. Without the cap badge, collar badge and shoulder badge, red guards used a red sleeve badge printed with yellow color character of "Red Guard" to show their status.
