The new Mooselim Outreach Camo!
Posted on 06/02/2015 6:09:35 AM PDT by US Navy Vet
The U.S. Army has laid out a plan to outfit soldiers with the service's new camouflage pattern that uniform officials maintain will perform as well as the MultiCam pattern troops wear in Afghanistan.
Col. Bob Mortlock, the head of the Army's Project Manager Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment, sat down with reporters to discuss the long-awaited roll-out of the new Operational Camouflage Pattern, or OCP.
Mortlock described the adoption of the new pattern as an important step for the Army.
"It's important to the Army, and the reason it is important to the Army is because it is all about force protection," he said. "In the close fight, soldiers rely on camouflage to provide concealment, and that is critically important to their mission effectiveness."

because we need to spend more money!
Again? Sheesh.
The old uniforms have some grass stains on them. You didn’t expect them to wash them, did you?
$102 for a uniform is too much
Basically mini-Woodland pattern.
Never should have left Woodland for that stupid blue cyber crap.
Millions for no improvement, except to the bottom line of the campaign donor uniform manufacturers.
Not to worry though, the sub-minimum wage front line soldiers have plenty of spare bucks to pay for the new uniforms out of their own pockets...
“blue cyber crap” is the Navy.
Not very effective. I can still see him.
The plain old olive drab uniforms, (pre-1980), worked just fine.
I read someplace that the new version is basically the Multicam with more black, vertical lines (to represent twigs).
So ..when do the troops have to start paying for their own weapons?

my concept....and reasons for same....
You’re bad! LOL.
What is in the camo pattern, I can’t tell?
Why does a change exist?
We had OD. That wasnt good for SouthEast Asia, so we had jungle stripe. That wasnt good for the, then, threat
os Western Europe, so we had woodland camo. That wasnt good enough to fight saddam, so we went three
color then six color m and m dessrt camo. Then all the
mix up of camos, as per which arm of the military chose
their own slant on it.
Money, money, money spent on all those changes,
but why not make all those camo outfits
particular to the theater of operation, only?
I mean, military stationed in the swamps of
Louisiana wearing desert camo?
Or ... Is this new camo going to be used against the
American populace?
That’s it — the Camelflage
In another category — Rainbows!
Looks like “Houndstooth” .... very preppy.
