After dumping millions of bucks on camo for each of the branches of the DOD, the House now says that by 2018, they all have to go back to one style fits most.!

Military.com reports  ” A Congressional committee voted Wednesday to end service-specific camouflage in an amendment that would push the military toward creating joint combat uniforms by 2018.

Committee members expressed frustration over the millions of dollars the services have spent to field camouflage patterns that focus more on creating a visual brand than effective concealment for the battlefield.

This is not the first time the Pentagon has been criticized over its management of camouflage development.

The Government Accountability Office blasted the U.S. military in September for the way it has developed camouflage uniforms over the past decade. Since 2012, military service leaders have introduced seven new patterns — two desert, two woodland and three universal — in a “fragmented approach” that GAO officials argue should be avoided in the future.”
