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?

For the field, everyone should be in the same uniform with as little crap as possible. If you're wearing a different uniform or a lot of Boy Scout patches, any enemy may assume (frequently correctly) that you're an attached specialist (intel, recon, medic) and decide you're a choice target.

For dress, it would be more cost effective to have a standard cut in different colors, but is less critical. But we don't need new Class As every 5-10 years.

I am a Vietnam Vet and in Vietnam we all wore GREENS, the same greens. Over the left pocket was a Tag Label stating what branch of service, the Marines also had USMC on the left pocket and us SEABEES had a SEEBEA on the left pocket. The seagoing Navy wore dungrees, without doubt the most confortable working uniforn the Navy ever had. I say go back to those days and save the monnnney for other item the Military needs.

Don't agree.All branches should continue using their distintive branch of the Armed Forces uniform.This installes the real purpose and mission of that branch,plus a deep mark on the Spirit De Corp's, for the people assigned their respected branch.
As an addition to this trade mark,I would support,the more often use of the Class A and Class B dress uniforms,for light duty work and travel on orders movements,on airports and other circumstances,
between all branches.

combat uniform? No. The camouflage pattern material and cut should correspond to the region you are deployed in jungle tigerstripe works great in the Amazon or in Vietnam Cambodia etc but sucks in the Europian or North American forests. Material: for wet swamp or jungle climates you want poly's. Shirts made of that under armor material; pants and jackets made of single layer ripstop nylon like a rugged windbreaker that doesn't hold water; cotton holds water molds/mildews and rots if wet too long but in Southern Europe, North America and central Africa cotton is your best friend. we cant standardize we proved that with the woodland BDU. should any service have a monopoly on a pattern or cut if it fits the needs of another branch? NO!! BAD MARINES!! BAD!! would say bad navy as well but who else would want blue camo

I have mixed ideas on standard uniform. Part of the reason for the camo bdu was to aid in concealment to some degree. Land based naval such as sea bees, as well as air Force ground crews yes. Air Force pilots yes if shot down may aid in thier concealment on land but ship based naval I'm not so certain of.

Home rice and yaki Mondo! To sit here at my desk and review all the whining going on about interservice pride and how they wish to remain separate from other services, reminds me of the whiney millennial or so called LBGT groups who with their colorful dress arrangements, screams for equality. If this issue is so important than perhaps a light violet green with a tint of pink rose uniform would suffice. Than when in a combat situation the enemy can laugh themselves to death or allow our forces to obliterate them while they’re in this hysterical mode. Refer to the uniform as “The violet rose destruction camo’, yeah! That’s it the violet rose. Wink, Wink

Special Ops need special uniforms then everyone wants them Vietnam era was the Tiger Stripes based off of the Bengal Tiger and everyone loved when we all had Olive Green. Change is good but as far as tactical uniforms they should be by capability. If you want one join that disiplane or ask for improvements for your current. Everyone wanted a beret because they felt left out. Well guess what you got the Black Ranger Beret that had to be earned before. Special Forces and Airborne stayed with Green and Maroon Beret. POINT we earned those berets and I Do not believe in a Statndard. Earn it.
