On Thursday, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a measure that would also require the Pentagon to choose just one camouflage uniform, a committee spokeswoman said. The Senate\u2019s time frame was unclear, however: A summary of the bill released by the Armed Services committee says the change should happen \u201ceventually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enyart\u2019s provision would require all armed services to share the same camouflage uniform by October 2018. It would still allow for variations in that shared uniform, adapted to different environments like woodlands and desert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although it makes sense, I don&#8217;t see any of the services giving any ground to any other service. The Marines didn&#8217;t even want to share MarPats with the Army last year so I can imagine what kind of juvenile shit we&#8217;re going to see over the next five years while they sort this out &#8211; or spend a couple of billion bucks more coming up with a pattern the fashionistas in each service will approve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post which reports that the House has &hellip; <a title=\"House tells Pentagon &#8220;Pick one&#8221;, well&#8230;eventually\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36251\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">House tells Pentagon &#8220;Pick one&#8221;, well&#8230;eventually<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36251\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
