Are the runways the USAF use green or brown or some variation thereof?

Are the runways the USAF use a color similar to the ABU pattern?

Would it make sense to authorize USAF personnel "embedded" or "deployed" in environments where the ABU is not appropriate to where the Combat Uniform of the dominant US Military Force? i.e. if attached to US Army, wear OCP, or if in an arid plains environment with Marines, wear MARPAT.

well, we have an "in" on the JCoS - perhaps a call to DC is in order?

Yes I do believe we should. It would temporarily cost more money, but if we had one set uniform then it would allow the DoD to save money in research, and having to make so many different kinds of uniforms. Also using the "one military, one uniform" argument. Our dress uniforms is what set us apart.

In my opinion, all services should wear the same combat uniform when on or around the battlefield. I used to hear the counter argument about losing heritage or pride in one's branch of service. To me that is what the different Service Dress Uniforms provide. When its time to go to battle, one team, one uniform, one fight.

If all branches would go back to the same uniform we could, potentially, save millions on research and development alone.

Longing for the days of the BDU, where the only real difference were tapes, ranks & covers (for Navy/Marines). Whole lot of money saved there. You could easily integrate the tech updates from the ABU/ACU into the BDU.
