SECNAV: We have too many camo uniforms | Navy Times | navytimes.com: Navy Secretary Ray Mabus told reporters on Thursday that he supports the push to reduce the services’ number of camouflage uniforms.
“The notion that we’ve got all this camouflage doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me,” he said at the Defense Writers Group breakfast meeting in Washington. “I think it’s worthwhile to see if we can shrink the numbers here.”
Mabus’ comments follow the introduction of a new bill by House lawmakers that would require a common combat uniform no later than October 2018. There would be some exceptions, allowing variants for geography, such as desert and woodland patterns.
