Sequestration – Tis the Season for New Camouflage

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

I’ve heard lots of people opine that the US Army will just have to put that camouflage improvement effort on the back burner due to sequestration. To the contrary, the argument is exactly the opposite. The Army can’t afford to not make the change. Every day that the Army delays its decision is another day that it wastes more money by purchasing additional clothing and equipment in UCP, a pattern that by their own admission doesn’t work. So let’s get going there Army and save some money by spending some.

It doesn’t really matter which family of patterns the Army selects so long as it is more effective than UCP and that its performance is backed up by empirical data. It’s time to end the dog and pony shows. Stop briefing each other on the decision and announce it already. The consequences of sequestration are already hurting morale. Give America’s Soldiers something to be happy about, a new identity and along with it the knowledge that their camouflage pattern is as effective as they are as a fighting force.
