Almost none of my military dorfs have their equipment. We have it and they are supposed to be wearing it, but aren't.

If you've assigned the equipment to be worn over clothing you've probably got item clashes. A cap prevents the use of a helmet, for instance. Thus, you either select only armor that's compatible with all clothing, or set the armor to replace clothing (you can designate clothing items to be assigned, but they're not smart enough to replace worn clothing).
Hm, if military dorfs are supposed to be smart enough to replace damaged armor, maybe they should be smart enough to replace "damaged" clothing uniform parts as well? Has anyone tested this in 0.43.05?

Thanks! It works.

I think they do upgrade, based on perceived value and some other factors (job priority?), just like the civilian uniforms. In 43.05 I've seen military dwarves equip newer metal and leather gear while it is being produced. I have not seen them grab newer cloth but I'm sort of blind and numb to dwarves dropping clothing everywhere.

They did upgrade armor and weapons to higher quality ones prior to the introduction of combat damage, but they did not upgrade worn uniform clothing pieces. The question is if they replace damaged/worn gear because of degradation, which could be seen if they were observed to replace damaged masterworks items for pristine ones of the same material.

One time I started my fort in a hamlet. Next thing I know nearly all of my dwarves have jumped off a bridge. they weren't even depressed, they apparently didn't realize it'd be fatal. Also I found a kobold's corpse at the bottom of the waterfall. it must have jumped too.
