Do we need a new camouflage pattern uniform? Is there a crying need to get it out to troops?
Yes, the UCP is a bust. We know that. But we already issue OCP uniforms to those deploying to Afghanistan. That model could be continued. and while UCP is not great cammo, the uniform does its job of identifying the wearer as a member of the US Army, and providing protection and modesty to the body wearing it.
In an age when we are pink-slipping officers in the field, contemplating massive drawdowns, and are unable to fully equip formations, why is this uniform change a priority for the dollars that we have left?

So what do we think of the new uniform? I feel like this new version of the multi-cam is going to be a swing and miss from the multi-cam we get when we deploy.
