Should the services go back to a standardized battle uniform?

If the Branches need to feel distinguishable, this is already accomplished through service/dress uniforms.  Field/battle uniforms should be standardized. The MARPAT is a good example if two variations are required, but I also think the OCP/Multicam can be be equally effective in more (if not all) environments. 

One of the greatest cost in fielding uniforms is not actually the uniform, it is the associated gear.  One proposal I've seen suggests a single base color (i.e. coyote tan, which is found in multicam) for gear with a jungle and dessert variation camoflauge. This would be more cost-effective. 

The biggest hurdle is likely to be the Marines not wanting to either a) give up MARPAT or b) share MARPAT.  I understand their pride, but if being distinguishable by sight is that important, seperate headgear, patches, or even boots could accomplish the same goal without costing taxpayers as much money (or you could wear service/dress uniforms when not in the field).

At the end of the day our Soldiers need effective camofluage, quality gear, and professional clothing, with as little cost to taxpayers and Soldiers as possible.

My feelings are, and mind you I do not have personal interest
other than my input is nothing more than a tax payer now. The uniformed service
has put a lot of money, time, and hours into uniform changes in the last six years
and I think its high time to leave the uniforms alone.

Hill leadership is already looking at ways to reduce cost by
removing programs and reducing benefits that have been in place for a few
generations.  To fund another round
of uniform reviews and re-tooling to write new regulations establish more
contracts for new textile and testing to me is a little over the top. Having
everyone wear the same uniform (Yep cross service standardize) across the board holding on the service
traditions by keeping the service dress uniform makes since and reduce the
number of uniform items required and developed a all service uniform that offers  easier maintenance to
maintain a professional appearance.

Let’s focus our leadership on other important issues than re-inventing
the wheel on uniforms.

I will believe when I see it, with the independent nature of all the services that has cropped up in the last 5 years, I have a hard time believing the full acceptance of all branches primarily the Marine Corps, as they have been dead set on not utilizing anyone else's design or letting anyone use theirs.

I would hope it could go back to how it was in the 80s/90s when most not all had the same universal uniform.
