Multicam joint
Airforce multicam
Multicam army
the closest I seen to a standard uniform for the Armed Forces was the multicam uniform when I was in Kandahar, and Air Force all wearing the uniform at one point with few deviations. Would do feel about this?

I agree with same uniform in the same jobs, infantry either Army or Marines should be the same other than that i don't agree.

I think having a standard field uniform makes too much sense, that's why it'll never come to pass. Each branch needs to have their' own separate dress uniforms, but duty/work/field uniforms should all be that same. As I said, it only makes too much sense so it won't happen

Because wearing green, brown and black multicam makes so much sense on a ship, naval base, in an aircraft, etc.

My vote is to allow each branch to define and procure their own uniforms. What would be good for a marine isn't necessarily what would be good for an airman.

Combat uniform...definitely. The services can show service pride with their dress uniforms. A standard uniform for combat is cheaper for the taxpayers and troops. Also, by definition if troops deployed to the same place are wearing different combat patterns, somebody is wearing a less effective pattern.

No reason not to, if you want to make theatre specific uniforms I could see that, but the multicams work in pretty much any environment not called the arctic.

I think the original question was do you support a standard uniform for all branches of service, yes or no?
No, not only do the dress uniforms need to be different, but there should be a different fatigue set and cammo set based on temperatures and regions of the world. How can we all have a standard uniform with different missions, climates and geographies. Multi-cams on subs, missile silos, bomber bases, space, flying and cyber commands? I think, cammo and flight suits should be the same for each theater for all services when deployed in a war zone. But I don't think all sailors and airmen need to be running around in cammo or army and marine personnel wearing OD fatigues. I know when I loaded special bombs, the OD fatigues were cheap and easy to replace. it was hard for our young airmen to pay for a set of BDUs every time they got grease or oil on them.

I think all the armed forces branches should have their own variations of the camouflage type uniforms.

you better believe it. here in Roswell NM we have 203 satellites over our heads 24/7 and drones. A standard uniform non color coded, would help to preserve non disclosure of rank etc....

Like I need a BDU on a ship. The aquaflage proved to be an amazing idea and next year I'll be wearing green and tan. Just call us the U.S. Water Army.

I don't know. I can see the army, marines and air force having similar uniforms; but not the navy. You camoflauge sailors at sea they won't be seen by rescue vessels minus a life raft. Then there is the matter of showing rank. Navy shows all ranks from E4 and up on their sleeves for working uniforms. It would take away the tradition of "tacking on the crow". Plus they have to be fireproof in case of shipboard fires. These are just a few itemsbi thought of. Add more if you feel inclined to agree that the fleet needs to stay TRUE BLUE.

Should be equal. That way there would be no animosity and cut down on costs.

Uniforms are what makes a team cohesive and avoids confusion.....
I dont want baseball players suddenly wearing football or soccer uniforms...
Maybe that's just me....
A lot of young men have joined a particular branch over another just because of the uniform!!!!

Nope!! Keep them all the way they are. Each uniform for each branch is outfitted for what they do to give them maximum cover.

Mr McNamara had the standardization idea in the 60s and we all ended up wearing sateens, probably the most uncomfortable and least colorfast uniform I wore. We went to Vietnam, found out they were neither durable or climate appropriate and went to various tropical weight uniforms with the Army having one style (slanted breast pockets) and the USMC another. Both evolved according to the needs of the specific service. The problem with the DOD wide uniform is it's developed by a committee trying to solve very different service requirements, preferences and desires and you end up getting a compromise that serves no one well with very minimal savings. Let it be.

Support this idea. It’s ridiculous to have different uniform patterns for the branches it should be the same across the armed forces
