The Army is again looking at changing the camouflage pattern and uniform for combat. There are some really crappy patterns in there that they're looking at, which means that that's what the Army is likely to chose if the past tells us anything.
The Marine Corps did it right with the Woodland and Desert digital camo, as they realized early on that one pattern does not work in every environment. With that, the uniform is designed well, is rugged, and feels like pajamas compared to the starched Woodland BDU. If you've never had the pleasure of wearing the Army ACU, it's a shitty piece of shit; quite literally the opposite of the Marine Corps uniform. Going to the Multicam pattern was a smart move overall, I think, but now the Army is poised to piss away more funds on camouflage pattern trials.

Didn't they just change it a few years ago? Does somebody get paid just to constantly swap out uniforms? I smell influence peddling here.
Not counting the standard Woodland or the tri-colored desert cammies the Army first deployed with in 03-04, they've changed to one uniform in three patterns. And yes, somebody is always paid to keep things changing!
