Saw this courtesy of Military Times GearScout blog. Anyone have any idea what these five patterns are? I'm assuming Crye Precision is Multicam. What are the other four?
Four industry partners and one Government team will produce camouflage uniforms for field trials and other evaluations in FY2012:
1. ADS, Inc. (teamed with Hyperstealth, Inc.) – Virginia Beach, Virginia 2. Brookwood Companies, Inc- New York, NY 3. Crye Precision, LLC – Brooklyn, NY 4. Kryptek, Inc. – Fairbanks, AK 5. Government pattern developed at U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC), Natick, MA PEO article |

I think #5 might be the ACU (UCP) pattern with more brown mixed in: http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/UCP-delta.jpg At what point do we wear the swastika arm bands? |

They should just throw all the patterns into a hat and pick at random, then we can all hate on the choice and get on with our lives. I just saved the Army tons of $.
|
|
I heard the following the office today about this
1) Didn't the Army get the memo about cutting spending? 2) Were do I report the fraud, waste and abuse on this one? |

Just fucking stop it. Fuck it just put everyone in goddamn woodlands
|
|
Dear Army, pull your head out of your ass and go back to woodland/desert uniforms.
|
|
I do miss the days when everyone wore woodland cammies.
Thank you USMC for wanting to be different. <––-former Marine |
|
I'm glad the BDUs/DCUs are gone. Wash and wear is the way to go. We should have adopted the Marine uniform, though. Maybe in a different pattern. But the cut is better.
|
|
So we have gone from every branch using essentially the same Woodland BDU to every branch having their own special duds...granted, some are cooler than others but is it really cost effective or necessary?

Quoted: the should go back to Viet Nam era Tiger Stripe Technically, tiger stripe was never officially adopted by the US military. (Other than the new AF pattern.) |
|
that... is some of the most hideous patterns I've ever seen in my whole goddamn life..that #5 NATIC pattern, looks like a Jackson pollack painting...or the result of rolling around in your clean ACus in a mudhole.
out of what the fuck happened to muliticam? are we fuckin G.I. Joe Action figures now? Jesus tap dancing Christ.. |

|
Quoted: Wow. Why not ODs and Khaki. OD would be an excellent choice for every day CONUS duties I would think. No need for camo for the day to day shit that isn't actually fighting someone. |
|
I see no problem with an OD/woodland BU garrison uniform. Lose the velcro, It looks more professional.
Beyond that.. we already have enough dudes running around in multicam. It doesn't make any sense, but whatever. |

|
Would it not make sense to pick a solid color for the uniform and armor carrier, and just swap out pouches, helmet covers, and knees elbow pads in different patterns?
Would that not be cheaper than different uniforms? Would that not make more sense than different uniforms with solid color gear? |
|
|
The accessories cost more than the uniform does.
Hence the single pattern. The Marines use brown for the same reason. But the uniform you wear in garrison need have no bearing on the uniform you wear to war. I vote for polos and loafers. |

I also have an unhealthy obsession with the Pencott stuff from Hyde Definition. Greenzone, Badlands, and Sandstorm: http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/879/greenzonebadlandssandst.jpg Yeah that is really cool stuff. |

That's the way it was for decades: camo was for field/combat use only. I believe woodland was adopted for day-to-day wear partly as a way to boost morale. (Kind of like the black beret fiasco a few years ago.) |

I would like to go back to the BDU/DCU patterns but in the ACU or MARPAT cut. The new USAF uniforms (ABU) is nothing more than a wash-and-wear BDU with a different pattern and a few extra pockets. They don't add any versatility to those of us that don't work in an office. |

|
I was just thinking. What are the chances they threw in two or three bogus patterns just to force the Army to choose the pattern we should've had in the first place....
Multicam. |

Retarded Army is retarded. DCU, Multicam, OD, khaki. Those get my vote but I'm just a pissant civvy.
