Hi it all depends who's army you are asking about , British wore normal Battle dress with dispatchers patch, and no shute , as to Americans I am almost certain it was normal uniform and again with dispatches patch , not certain about shute , neither jumped with the load , but stayed with aircraft . cheers ian
