AUSA – Simunition
Monday, October 21st, 2013Why No US Army Camouflage Announcement?
Monday, October 21st, 2013Here at AUSA, I’m hearing the same reason now that I heard in May relating to the postponement of the Army Birthday announcement for a new camouflage pattern. And that reason is perception. The Army apparently doesn’t want to be seen as extravagant by announcing a new camouflage pattern while no one has any money. Never mind that continuing to purchase UCP is a waste of money. It’s all about appearances sake. As for OCP, the “plan” is to purchase it as they go and somehow, someway, it will transmorph into the Army Camo pattern.
Now this isn’t an official announcement because the Army doesn’t want to talk about camouflage at all, well at least not with reporters, so take it as you will.
AUSA – Commando
Monday, October 21st, 2013Ok, it’s not Cadillac Gage and this isn’t The Viet Nam war or the Saudi Arabian National Guard. No, it’s the Textron Commando Select and it serves as a testament that some designs just don’t go away. That’s a 90mm cannon on this model and I hear rumor that they intend to offer it for a light tank requirement for the 82nd Abn Div.
AUSA – SAI
Monday, October 21st, 2013Standard Armament Inc is a family owned business and was created with Howard Hughes in 1945. Their ammunition chute and handling systems are incorporated into almost every US weapon system.
SAI produces chutes that handle up to 30mm ammo. In fact, their 5.56 and 7.62 chutes are used by a couple of manufacturers for their dismounted ammunition pack systems.

“Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.”

Perhaps we might reflect on this observation as we consider the Army’s camouflage situation.
