As a follow-up to our SWJ post, Army, Marine Corps clashing over cammies…, CNN’s Jennifer Rizzo reports Army sets out to buy three new camouflage patterns. BLUF: “This time around, the Army is looking for a family of camouflage patterns that can be used across the globe – one for the desert, another for a wilderness/jungle environment, and a third transitional variant for ‘places in the middle’…”
The Army has embarrassed itself with this uniform issue. The ACU has been a disaster, as well as the beret issue. ACUs have not saved Soldiers money at all. Hell, the Army can’t even update its uniform regulation. AR 670-1 is dated 2005. Trying to track the message traffic that modify the uniform regs is an exercise in frustration. But, we can train the hell out of Master Resiliency and sexual harassment, and we can produce six different copies of a unit alert roster.
OG 107s so we can stop the madness
