Should there be one standard combat uniform across all branches of service?

With many bases being joint it would make more sense. If we all deploy to the same area we should all use the same uniforms. I can see having different dress uniforms for formal occasions but in the field you do not need to have four different uniforms.

NO. Let the members of the services have their distinctiveness. Although my military career service was in the Air Force, I spent three of those years with the Army. Also, taught advanced DOD courses to members of all the services. And was very thankful for the Marines who provided provided security for my family and I during an assignment in Europe. After retiring, I spent two years on an Army post and three on a Navy base. Our services all have unique roles, missions and traditions and each service deserve their own distinct uniforms.

Yes they should all be the same. It would save money. One team one fight we are all in this together.

They would have to find one that can be worn in the jungle and on a ship. It would need to be flame resistant for fires at sea. The dress uniforms should remain unique to all branches.

Doesn't the DOD share a vision of seamless joint service interoperability? If so, it stands to reason that the future of the military will be done on a joint basis. If we adopt a single duty uniform we will proactively reach towards this goal. In a fiscal view, by adopting a single duty uniform, costs can be reduced through a phased rollout.

Sure, why not? I grew up seeing everybody in BDUs, so I don't really buy the "esprit de corps" argument. If services insist they can have their own garrison/working uniforms, but I don't see the point in unique combat uniforms. It certainly hasn't worked out well so far, except for maybe the Marines.

That is not the combat uniform of the USCG; that is the duty working uniform worn on all cutters and USCG stations. However, law enforcement units within the USCG wear both the Navy blue combat fatigues, and Port Security Units wear the desert camos.

No.

Yes. There should be one standard combat uniform across all branches of Service. A few years ago, (2012-2013) I read an article about how much it had cost the Navy to get the current NWUs (The blue Digitals) It was over $10Million. Just for the one navy uniform.

Of course! All services should go with the USAF ABUs! Looks at how well it blends in with the trees-, the sand-, well you get the idea.

I'm joking of course...
