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 would be ok with it but ranks for the various branches should also be uniform. Otherwise there could very quickly be issues with people not showing proper respect /etiquette.

Having a unified (pardon the pun!) digi-camo BDU for all branches would greatly simplify the acquisition and evaluation process and ultimately lower costs to the taxpayer and/or allow the funds otherwise wasted on each branch having a unique BDU be made available to other far-more-mission-critical items that may be lacking sufficient funding. That being said, the Marines and the Army get to pick, because these are the folks whose lives depend upon their uniforms having effective camouflage, wearability under extreme environmental conditions, and IR-supression. The problem is getting the Marines and the Army to set aside inter-service rivalries and agree on something which should be, in the final analysis, quite trivial.

I oppose a common field uniform because the service have different roles a mission performed in different environment.

Honestly years back the Army and the Air Force wore the same utility uniform, the only difference was the insignia and tags. The old OG fatigues. Dress uniforms should remain branch specific but utility camo or whatever should be standardized. In the long run it will save money, one uniform one source. Basic issue the same across the board.

The cost savings for a common working uniform would be huge

Working uniforms should meet the needs and objectives of the mission, the Navy has a different mission on ship than the Army or Air Force has, there fore the same uniform may not be adequate. Dress uniforms must always be specific to the service or risk loss of identity and unit esprit de corps.

Yea im for it. I think it should be based off of where one is stationed. Ex someone stationed in green land or somewhere where theirs snow shouldnt have to wear the same uniform as someone in afganistan or some of the hotter places. Not sure if this is a thing already. On the other hand it would be hard to depict when branches are together whos who.

Combat uniforms could definitely be standardized across the services. For the Navy personnel onboard ships, something like the dungarees would seem to be functional.
