Being old fashioned, I think work/combat uniforms are that and garrison uniforms should be just that. One universal uniform won't get it. Climates change, and there can never be a "universal" camo pattern/color. I cannot for the life of me understand the requirement for wrinkle resistant. In the old days, the wrinkles in uniforms was a pretty good camouflage in itself. This was once demonstrated o with a soldier in a sloppy wrinkled up unifor along side of another soldier in purty starched fatigues -- both standing against a tree line.

IMHO a combat uniform needs to be durable, breathable and most important designed for the specific region of combat. Return to fatigues or even Class "B" uniforms in garrison ala the jarheads.
