I have "ceremonial full dress" for "礼服" and "combat dress" for "作训服" but am not sure whether "working dress" or "ordinary duty dress" should be "常服". Thanks.

I used to serve in PLA. Exept for those few who attend grand occasions we wear 常服 everyday. When we are training or doing field work we wear 作训服. I never went into combat. As an explanation, 常服 is uniform servicemen wear on ordinary occasions, but it is too long for a translated term. Service uniform is prefreable.
