The question still lingering is will Multicam make it stateside, or will it be Afghan theater only.
I certainly wouldn’t mind being issued some free Multicam gear. Army Navy stores would make a killing as well.
Notice the Advanced Combat Shirts too. I really like these. I plan on getting some in UCP in the near future.
It’s also made it into Iraq with some spec ops units there.
I was in the 'stan in 08 before mutlicam was a thing except with some spec ops guys. I noted in the pics 2 things- the guy sighting the spr type rifle is holstering a glock- so this is likely a spec ops guy. Also in the bottom pic some of the troops have black boots on- did they ce boot issues with the multicam?
also the combat shirt is a great idea I have a couple- but the command does not seem to get the concept- if you rolled into a base with the ACS on they would not let you walk around base with it on or go in the chow hall.You had to change to a regular ACU top - so most troops just wore the ACU to save the hassle changing back and forth
At drill this month (mind you I am only in RSP with the Guard haven’t attached to my Unit yet) a Sgt. said that multicam was only being issued to A-Stan right now. It may get issued over here at a later date. Again this is relayed with a caveat: this is what a recruiter a my RSP site said so if I am off don’t flame me 
after talking to a friend of mine(3rd ID), who works in the “Army Legal Dept”, Everyone that is currently deployed to any Combat theater will be getting the Multicam first(ie 'Stan, Iraq, Korea). Once all units in country in those theaters get the new uniforms, the rest of the Army will be getting them
edit* at least that is what it sounds like to him and how he relayed the info to me
You guys have too many uniforms too wear. Heck go back to the old OD. NOT!!!
What sidearm is that in the Safariland holster? It looks awfully like a Glock.
If I were king of the Army, I’d have a mono-color basic uniform in say, dark brown. I would then issue cloth spray paint to those units which actually NEED camo uniforms, which they could apply at their own discretion.
The rest of everyone else could just wear their mono-color uniforms as uniform of the day.
Unfortunately, Fobbits would want to paint up tacticool and double digit IQ CSMs would prohibit anyone with painted uniforms from entering any facility on the FOBs.
I actually asked my commander if I could wear multicam to our next drill.
His response: “When we start having drill in Afghanistan you can wear multicam.”
That said, there is a lot of privately purchased multicam bags and pouches showing up lately
Personally, I am not a multicam fanboy. It’s okay camo with some good benefits, but I like UCP just fine, and wouldnt cry if I was never issued any multicam gear.
Yah, I’m ok with the digicam…I don’t want to have to polish boots!!! LOL!!!
Cleaar case of SOF types in the bottom pic’s. No covers on the helmets, the velcro in the sides to attach their goggles, .308 AR based rifle non-M-110 so maybe a Glock. The next two have the ever popular RAW, Insght M-3X’s and the Elcan DR.
The top photos on the other hand are the good old 4ID.
If you look, the SOF guys are wearing the correct Crye uniform.
The 4ID guys are still stuck with the crappy ACU ‘now in multicam!’ The Army is flatly unable to do anything that is not half-asses.
Wonder if that is a MK12 Mod 1 that the guy with the shooting sticks/bipod is shooting?
ETA: After enlarging the picture, the upper receiver and no flash hider makes it look more like an SR25?
That’s odd. In the first picture it looks like he has a plastic cover on the flash hider, but yet, the dust cover is open?
Excuse the totaly newb question…but what does ISAF stand for? It looks like ISAF anyway…
International Security Assistance Force
International Security Assistance Force, Afganistan.
It’s possible that the production rates of the uniform Crye offers wasn’t high enough to field both currently deployed units and units deploying in the near future. You take current contract holders for those who already produce uniforms in the ACU cut and give them new fabric. Bada-bing, bada-boom, you have "the crappy ACU “now in multicam!” style uniform.
Is it half-assed? I suppose.
Is it better than rocking UCP? You betcha.
Ahhh, thanks guys
