The OG-107 (abbreviation for Cotton Sateen Utility Uniform OG-107) was the basic utility uniform of all branches of the United States Armed Forces from 1952 until its discontinuation in 1989. The designation comes from the US Army color 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 use both in the United States and on overseas deployments at the beginning of the Vietnam War. As the tropical combat uniform (jungle fatigues) became more common in South Vietnam, it began to replace the OG-107 in combat units. Infantry units of "standard" formations (non-airborne or Special Forces) 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 missions (outside Southeast 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 characteristics. They were made of 8.5 oz cotton sateen. The trousers featured straight legs designed to be tucked into combat boots, two front patch pockets with angled openings, and two rear patch pockets with button-down flaps.
