Different mission, different uniform.

Personally, I think having one standard uniform could get rather confusing in joint operations.

I am old enough to remember when Robert F. McNamara was the SECDEF under President Kennedy. He wanted to standardize all kinds of things across the services. From a dollars and cents perspective standardization makes sense. Everyone gets the same boots, socks, underwear, rifle, knife, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseas. There would be fewer contracts, fewer variants, more savings. McNamara served in the Army but he was much more of an academic than a military thinker. The uniforms and equipment of the various services need to be mission specific. Some standardization might be a good thing, but the individual services are the most qualified to determine their uniform and equipment needs. Short answer: NO.

Def should be job specific , the DOD spends a lot to develop combat uniforms but if a certain job or service might not require it such as clerks, mechanics or if your on a ship which camo is useless why devote more money for somthing that might be unnecessary .

I had an NCOIC back in 2011 while I was in Ft. Campbell who use to tell me all the time that the military was going towards this. Well, we are 7 plus years from him telling me that and we haven't go there, but I do recognize that we might end up there some day. I'll probably be retired when we get to this point, but it would be something to see.

Yes that makes the most sense to have one standard uniform. But it won’t happen cause it makes to much sense and someone can not line there pockets with uniform change money
