1995 Matched Anthropometric Database of U.S. Marine Corps Personnel: Summary Statistics

Abstract

Anthropometric databases containing extensive body size and that information are critical for the proper design and sizing of military clothing, equipment and workstations. The last anthropometric survey of United States Marine Corps males was conducted in 1966. No anthropometric data has been collected on Marine Corps females. Statistical matching procedures were used to create an updated USMC anthropometric database of 76 dimensions for males and females from the 1988 Anthropometric Survey of U.S. Army Personnel (ANSUR). The summary statistics and descriptions of the 76 selected dimensions are presented along with tariffs for 42 clothing items.
