What ever happened about Congress pushing for "one camouflage pattern for all branches"?

Camouflage should be designed and worn to suit the terrain, not a military branch, special force, or lobbyist. I think we can all agree on this. Tactical circumstances must dictate clothing.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of my Marine Corps brothers, that would be a capital idea, even yours truly would wear the MCP even though I'm US Army all the way! yeah yeah, I know the Marines say ARMY is an achronym for Aren't Really Marines Yet, and I say to them HA! and a big HOOAH to them

Never could understand Camo for Navy or Air Force (except Seabees or Air Commandos). If your in Navy Camo and wind up in Sea they will never find you..

Quick Google search will tell you that full implementation isn't until 2021.

We are basically already there. Both Army and Air Force will be using OCP by April 2021. Navy and Marine Corp will have similar patterns by OCT 2019. Would be better if Navy chose Coyote Brown for accessories and boots, but they wanted to retain some clash.

This is a loade subject isn't it? OCP for every service! Well lets see, NAVY; they're at see, the sea is blue, wearing OCP uniforms, you'll blend in perfectly. The "blue uniforms" are bad enough looking, but what happens when a sailor falls off tbe ship at sea? He/she is totally lost! AIR FORCE; no problem. ARMY; Well it's required they be camouflaged, so no problem. MARINES; also required to be hidden in combat. Just keep their covers cornered and the overly pressed uniforms down to a minimum. Coast Guard; same as the NAVY. But when each services SOF units has to operate in a conflict, yes. As for the other types let's wait for the zcongressional circus to make its decision.

One camo pattern for all branches is logistically & cost savings especially for personnel stationed outside of their designated military branch's (i.e. Marines or Sailors stationed at Army or Air Force Installations or vice versa) & being stationed at remote duty assignments (Shemya AFB in the Aleutian Islands to Lajes Field AFB Azores) for example that have limited clothing sales items for the other branches.

One pattern, because being in North Europe, The Sand Box, The Artic, At Sea, can all be covered by one pattern.
