That will be the hope.
Look, IMO that pattern was thrown in there so that the Army can say that they were "partially right" in coming up with the abortion of a camo pattern that we have now. THe UCP-D is the Army's attempt to save face.
And there are people that will wear it in combat to give the Army that opportunity. I wonder what criteria that they used to come up with that pattern as "finalist " for the replacement of the ACU. Nevermind, I know... the criteria is that damn near ANY pattern would be better.

So, let me figure this chart out, multicam is the solution to a "one pattern" camo? It is after all the highest on ALL three areas. I mean come on, why would those sneaky-peat elite types be buying this stuff and wearing it other than to look cool in the chow-hall?

You know I freely admit that I'm not as smart as those brains at PEO Soldier. But why the fascination with urban camouflage? Woodland, jungle, desert, snow etc. But urban?

Seems to me the USMC comes out on top by using two seperate patterns. Why oh why is the USMC smarter than us?

Urban uniforms
I've gone to war wearing levi's, jungle boots and an MTV t-shirt, (it had a picture of Modonna, like a virgin on the back), picked it up in Cabo for $5.00
The rest of the team had similar threads, we fit in the scene quite well

Uniforms
Who likes the looks of the avatar to the left? War shirt worn by the 80% of the plains indians, circa 600BC until 1920's. It worked very well, took a variety of vegtable and plant dies. Quiet against tree branches, wore well over rock.
But the US uniform of the 7th cav, now that was great! Big brass bottons in the sun shine. O.k., o.k., they had better weapons, un-interrupted supply trains, more troops. But we faught a good fight.

I like the guy in the back row on the left without his cool blue baseball cap on - must've thought he was still on the flight-line.

Shaking my head, I'm very glad I'm not part of that goat rope of a service any more.

I'm thinking there may just be way too many choices out there and its confusing the hell out of everybody - things were far simpler when all we had were OD Jungle Fatgues and aerosol cans of flat black spray paint.
And so it goes...
