The
new law would mark a return to Cold War-era fashion, when all troops
wore the same uniform when deployed to the same place.Algorithms are

and behaviors by analyzing an almost incomprehensible amount of data.
The so-called Battle Dress Uniform had only "woodland" and "desert"
variants.That began to change when the Marine Corps fielded its
digital-style MARPAT camouflage pattern in 2002, in turn prompting each
service to develop its own pattern. Some have come in for criticism in
the ranks, such as the Air Force's "tiger stripes" and the Navy's
"aquaflage."In several instances, design efforts were botched, scrapped
and replaced with additional designs, costing millions of dollars in
fees and replacement costs, according to the Government Accountability
Office. The goal in adopting one style or a common set of styles is to
save money.Inside the ranks, the issue is controversial.
While
distinct uniforms may be good for morale and cultivate a sense of pride
among the individual services, others say the array of stripes and
pixelated patterns is an unnecessary expense and makes no sense since
the underlying goal is to make troops less visible in the field,We want

Maj. Bryan Battaglia, said the mix of uniforms makes the U.S. military
look like a Baskin-Robbins and signaled his support for a common
uniform.But Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos recently said
preserving the Corps' MARPAT pattern is a top priority and declared that
his service will stick to it "like a hobo to a ham sandwich."
While
the law suggests the era of service-specific distinction may come to an
end, it likely will be years before any final decisions are made and
common uniforms are deployed.Congress will try one more time to get the
Pentagon to cease its uniform madness and adopt a common camouflage
pattern for all four services.The compromise defense authorization bill
for 2014 includes a provision that directs the Defense Department to "to
adopt and field a common combat and camouflage utility uniform, or
family of uniforms, for specific combat environments, to be used by all
members of the armed forces."And if that becomes law, as appears likely,
it would change the future image of the joint force.
