Army to Field MultiCam in Afghanistan
February 17th, 2010

According to Army sources the Chief of Staff of the Army approved a plan today to field MultiCam to all Army forces in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) beginning as soon as possible. This is implementation of the decision brief’s Course of Action 1 which called for the fielding of MultiCam to all Army personnel engaged in OEF. Other options offered to GEN Casey included fielding a less robust MultiCam package focused on ground maneuver elements as well as a plan to maintain the status quo. It is important to note that the decision to field MultiCam uniforms and equipment currently only affects forces operating in OEF.

The funny story is that the ODA where I am located was told about 10 days ago that they couldn't wear the multicam uniforms and gear that they brought with them. WTF?

There is actually a perfectly good answer for why you couldn't wear Multicam...it actually works.

All kidding aside, it is mind boggling that all DoD guys who do anything on the ground aren't already wearing Multicam. If you haven't Google'd the uniform comparison photos, it is an eye opener. Multicam clearly does better in more environments than any one pattern.
