Army considers Marine Corps camo for new uniforms.

Imagine how much money we could save the Tax Paying Citizen if all of the egocentric brass got off of their high-horses and used logic and reason for once.

The marines camp is way better than ours multi-cam. I'd go with that in a heartbeat

Aout time! this should have happened a long time ago

We performed a training exercise at my most recent drill weekend. I was on the OPFOR Team. You'd be amazed at how fast I (and the rest of the OPFOR Team) got spotted, because we didn't blend in at all.

ACUs are great--for blending into old couches. I've not yet done a tour overseas, but I can only hope that I put on something that's actually effective at keeping me concealed when my life is on the line.

If you ask anyone who has deployed recently, they all say that they like the multi-cam better than ACUs. Plus the Army has already said that they want to make the multi-cam uniform the garrison uniform. I for one would welcome the change because I feel that the multi-cam works better for training purposes. You actually blend in with the field opposed to ACUs. The real that should be asked right now, is when will the Army pay the money and make the switch to multi-cam.

Having been in both the Marine Corp and Army I ca honestly say I am not surprised that the Army wants to adopt the Marines uniform. When I joined the corp they were still in BDUs, and then I went through the uniform transition, and only had the boots for about 6 months before I actually got the digital uniform. When I joined the Army they already had the ACU, and the minute I put it on I thought this is one huge piece of you know what. It did not feel durable, and it had that awesome tactical velcro that lasted 3 months if you were lucky. Not to mention the wash and wear motto when you looked like a wrinkle bomb went off in your face. I always ironed and starched my ACU and was always asked, "YOu were in the MArines wernt you?"

This needed to happen when they changed over from BDU's. From a budget and logistics standpoint every service having it's own pattern was and is absurd. I know service pride comes into play but when you deploy they for put you in OCP

We are reinventing the wheel- we went from the same camouflage uniform- then we all wanted to be special. This is why Marines can never have nice things- lowest budget - most envied service.

I doubt that will happen. MARPAT is a trademark of the Marine Corps and the pattern includes tiny eagle, globe, and anchors. That trademark is why you don't see any unofficially licensed MARPAT products on the market.

Go for it! Imitiation is the highest form of flattery!
