… Uniforms With New Pattern "Lawmakers want the Army to finalize a plan to dye its pixelated Universal Camouflage Patterned uniforms and equipment to blend with the service's new Operational Camouflage Pattern. The House Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on readiness released its markup today for the proposed fiscal 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. The document expresses interest in technologies that would allow the Army to re-dye existing universal camouflage uniforms and equipment, with a particular focus on its never-popular, now-obsolete UCP camo.

Lawmakers seem to be unaware that the uniforms have a limited lifespan. IIRC, it's about 12 months of use. |
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
