The OG-107 (abbreviation for Cotton Sateen Utility Uniform OG-107) was the standard utility uniform of all branches of the United States Armed Forces from 1952 until its discontinuation in 1989. The designation derives from the US Army colour code "Olive Green 107" (Olive Green 107), a shade of dark green. The OG-107 is made of cotton.

The OG-107 uniform, introduced in 1952, succeeded the M1943 uniform and became the standard for both stateside use and overseas deployment at the start of the Vietnam War. As the tropical combat uniform (jungle fatigues) became more prevalent in South Vietnam, it began to replace the OG-107 in combat units. Infantry units in "standard" (non-airborne or Special Forces) formations began receiving jungle fatigues in the spring of 1966, and the OG-107 was gradually relegated to rear-area use.

In the United States and for overseas assignments (outside South-East Asia), the OG-107 remained the standard uniform from 1960 to 1970. It is one of the longest-serving uniforms in the US Army, used from 1952 until the adoption of poly-cotton for the OG-507 in 1978. Minor modifications were made to the uniform over time, such as the addition of split, buttoned cuffs in the mid-1960s.

All versions of the OG-107 share several basic technical features. They were made from 8.5-ounce cotton sateen. The trousers had straight legs intended to be bloused into combat boots, and featured two patch pockets at the front with angled openings and two patch pockets at the rear with a buttoned flap.
