Big news confirmed by Soldier Systems; Crye Precision has won the Army's latest camouflage selection.



















This announcement has been a long time in coming, and while not official yet, I'm willing to take what we can get.










Honestly I believed (along with most people probably) that ADS had this one in the bag, and perhaps Kryptek might have been the upset winner. But Crye? Didn't see that one coming.










Thoughts?

How many billions has the Army wasted on endless changes to camouflage?  I've seen teenage girls with better decision making skills.

BDUs in woodland camo were the best thing ever.

Not much of a secret, seeing how they recently entered licensing negotiations with Crye.

Uniforms and equipment will forever need to be replaced. Might as well be in a camouflage pattern that's worth a damn.

True, the unofficial word has been circulating for quite some time. But now we have it on record.




I had assumed the licensing was for OCP only ~I guess it makes more sense now in light of this recent news.

This, and with normal pockets and collars.  Throw some epaulettes in as well and a tuckable shirt and leather belt. These uniforms have gotten so non-military.  I call it the policeization of the military.

Again with new camo? Woodland BDU's were all the rage when I went to basic training and after basic, OD green jungles were still authorized.  How many times have they changed in the last 25 years?

No they weren't, BDU's were the best.

So moving away from the digital style camo now back to something closer resembling the old BDU pattern?

Never really understood what the logic in adopting the grey colored camo was in the first place.

Yep. Sounds like the navy's system of camo, but using multicam with different color schemes.

Basically, I think there will be three different variations from what I've read. At least two for sure, but they have slight differences from the current multicam.

No one outside the loop really knows yet. Our best guess is a family of color variations based around the prototype "scorpion" camouflage shown left:

Thank God.

They should have done this ten years ago.

It makes sense though since it's already in the supply chain and the transition should go pretty rapidly and smoothly.

Honestly, I have never seen that thread.  I have felt that soldiers don't look like soldiers anymore, and more like SWAT teams for some time.  That is why I find the militarization of police threads funny.

Which is why they had BDUs in desert camo and in cities the camo is not really a factor since you either have enough cover to hide in or you are in the open and nothing would help.

I'd like to get my hands on the test results for kryptek. I've got a carrier in mandrake and to my untrained eye seems to be quite effective in my neck of the woods.

Heh. Don't tell a Major I know about that. He agrees, vehemently, about the "Tactical jammies" look. And wouldn't mind a return to the OD wool service uniform with garrison cap or peaked service cap for non-field and non-fatigue duty.
