Current uniforms
Most members of Rosgvard wear ATACS variants by standard. During urban policing duties in cities within Russia, Rosgvard members wear either blue SURPAT or blue ATACS, both of which are printed on jackets or shirts.[1]

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] <gellery>File:Surpat Standard Wikipedia.png|center|thumb|SURPAT in use by Rosgvard.File:Zajednička vežba 72 brSO VS i 2 br Specnaz OSRF - snajper specnaz RF - 02.jpg|Spetsnaz sniper, during a joint exercise, dressed in ATACS FG.File:Soldiers of the National Guard in the cordon on the FIFA World Cup 2018.
