    TL;DR version: Multicam won

    Caitlin Dickson at The Daily Beast is floating a UCP is a $5 billion dollar waste of taxpayer money story (again?)

    Well, if I could snap my fingers…

    The army would pick the winner, which SSD previously reported is the MultiCam variant family.

    Then, they’d say “Oh yeah, Old School, Afghan War Multicam? That counts as transitional until those stocks are expelled.”

    That way, a bunch of multicam uniforms and TA50 is available out of the gate, adn then, through attrition, just replace it with the new Crye transition. SOme units would bitch and absolutely want everyone int eh same camo right away, but the guard and reserves (which I’m a member of) can use that older stuff for a generation before it needs to get replaced, so we’d be good.

    That way:
    -Most advanced, helpful and flexible family of camouflage patterns
    -Fiscally responsible way to do it, using existing hardwear and stuff already in stock and supply chain.

    It seems like a common sense, logical solution to me.
    But then, maybe that’s why I’m not riding a desk at the pentagon…

    Mick.

    When is AUSA and do you still expect some sort of an announcement?

    I just hope when or If the Army makes the announcement that they say if you got them wear them, no long wear out date on UCP. Let them disappear
