📋 About This Mod
This is a Faction outfit overhaul replacing all Minutemen with the amazing Western Operator mod's uniforms and gear from Sm4llD4gg3r.
Update 1. 2 will require a New Save or use console resurrect commands on existing Minutemen.
My vision for this mod was that pre-war US Military's gear was preserved as best as possible by the survivors and passed on and maintained/replicated by the modern day Minutemen. There are many mods for the Minutemen and I just wanted them to represent a force of pre-war US Army remnant soldiers dedicated to retaking the Commonwealth.
This is why I included NPC changes with the pre-war soldiers in the beginning of the game before the nukes drop. They are all wearing pre-war US Military gear.

Enjoy another one of my faction Outfit Overhaul mods and please leave feedback or requests. I will do my best to address what I can within reason of course.
Huge thank you too Sm4llD4gg3r for allowing me to use his awesome Western Operator mod.
