The Army will field a new uniform for some of its units serving in Operation Enduring Freedom due to the difference of the operating environment in Afghanistan.
The problem is that the current uniform does not fit very well with the mountainous, rocky, snowy environment. Soldiers have complained that the pattern does not always camouflage them well and that a different pattern and color were needed for better protection. The version of this uniform already being used by Army, and Air Force Special Operation Forces is called MultiCam One. It incorporates a brown, tan, and green camouflage pattern. The version which will be given to the regular Army units will be called the UCP Delta, and it will have coyote tan added to it’s color scheme.
Our Operation Enduring Freedom custom ring customers were issued the ACU uniform recently which I think is a very good pattern. It is and it served us well in Iraq but the military has to constantly change and adapt to fit in with changing times.
