Does the Army currently count Multicam backpacks as fair game to match with the Scorpion pattern uniform?

Since Multicam is technically different than the Scorpion ACU pattern, does the Army count Multicam as a matching pattern? For example, under 670-1, does Multicam "Match" the uniform? I noticed that most manufacturers of tactical packs make Multicam packs, but not "Scorpion" packs.

It does since 670-1 only states that it essentially cannot be a "fashionable/faddish"or "outlandish" color" (paraphrasing).

I guess if your commander said no, it wouldn't be wrong either as they have perview regarding what they will authorize or not, but that would be some serious micromanaging and misplaced concern.

Also consider that we will be using old UCP stuff for years to come. If that's your issues OCIE, your commander at that point can't really say much now can he?

I think your commander will have in mind many factors, UCP stuff for years to come at least. I am glad that the problem was resolved. Special thanks for the notes that are presented to the following letter on the site: https://ipayzz.com/de/paysafecard-casinos/. The answer is complete.
