Would you support a standard uniform for all branches of service? Why or Why not?

Why would one uniform be good? Four different purposes you can’t make one that fits them all.

I liked the olive green uniforms with ranks on the collar black belt shined black leather boots and the uniform starched this look good in garrison. Field duty wear cammies. But dress uniforms stay the same.

They need go back to the BDU we had in the seventies use the cammies in the field and combat. Spit shined boots also

Well it worked fine when we all had the woodland camo BDU!! Why wouldn't it work again. Plus it would probably save tax payer money in the long run. Yes at first the price tag would be high, but after the first year it would fall.

No! Maybe a common combat uniform for everyone that actually fights but the rest should wear a service identifying uniform

I may have said this on here before, and realize I !at be repeating myself, yeah, it could obv be done, the thing is, just think how much fun we'd all lose trying to keep all the different ones straight all the time, you know? Lol....

I feel that if the different branches want unique uniforms they can have their own dress uniforms but a standard field uniform is the right way to go.

In my opinion, I'd say every branch can keep their uniform design cut but everyone must have the same uniform pattern. The Marines/Navy can still maintain their sewn on tapes, pin on ranks and current design uniform cuts as well as the Army/Air Force with the current ACU cut with velcro but everyone (branch) would have the same camouflage pattern instead. Look at the pictures attached to my comment. Same pattern, different uniform cuts/layout.

I don't care for the 1 fits all uniform idea it's been a long standing thing to have different uniforms leave things alone Marines have theirs Navy has theirs army has ours and air Force kinda just does whatever

I support that change but believe it should happen in 2026/2027 in order to mitigate effects felt with U.S. Army recent change in FY-17/18. I thought it was amusing in 2003 when it starting hitting operating forces. We are one Nation, wear one uniform. Long term you save the taxpayer dollar. We know it will be wasted elsewhere.

standard uniforms I support that I would put the rank on the sleeves for enlisted personnel though. I believe we need to KISS instead of changing the uniform every two years to put money in some generals buddy s pocket under the premise that he or she is a vendor.

Fiscally it makes sense and facilitates uniform and uniform component availability to all service members.

I would be ok with bdu’s being the same just for the fact you would have less confusion in battle of someone not recognizing another branchs uniform and possibly firing on them . but keep the class a dress uniform seperate

I think the Navy shouldn’t wear camouflage at sea! That’s just dumb! However, on post, at least the Army, and Marine Corp should be the same. The Airforce May have different demands, but in the field, the battle dress should be the same for all!

it sure would save the military a lot of money with a single battle uniform.
