With the reverse camouflage mentality that caused DOD to give woodland pattern uniforms to a desert dwelling army, maybe you could give them all to Singapore, Thailand or the Philippines.

"1 July 2015 to 30 September 2019 is the uniform transition period. In this window, Soldiers will wear combinations of the three uniforms above, as indicated, until the mandatory possession date of 1 October 2019 when the entire Army will be in the Operational Camouflage Pattern Army Combat Uniform". refer to the attached picture. Also, just FYI the pattern is UCP. We will alsways wear the Army COmbat Uniform (ACU).

Both versions are the Army Combat Uniform, the difference is the pattern. The Universal Camouflage Pattern becomes obsolete on 1 October 2019 and is replaced by the Operational Camouflage Pattern.

ACUs? We will wear those as long as the US ARMY exists... Now if your talking about UCP then we can wear them until 20190930...
