I know they briefed the winner of the Camo contest to the big bosses. Has anyone heard anything besides the fictional BS powerpoint from a few months back stating that the US4CES pattern won the contract? I myself am quite partial to the Kryptek pattern.

I think with the present budget problems and sequestration that the new Army camo will be delayed for some time.

I want US4CES to win and saw the fake PowerPoint. How do you know they briefed the winner to the brass?

Read it at Soldiersystems.com and Armytimes posted a month or two ago that they were going to brief it at the end of FEB. I understand the budget issues but the only big bump in money would be whatever transitional pattern they decide to do the gear in. As far as making uniforms all they do is change the fabric at the current manufacture.

So OCT 22-23 @ the AUSA conference. Maybe......

It is semi-official. Multicam is the winner.

Read the last paragraph.

Its interesting wording at the least.

As it states the pattern is the winner. This begs the question if the daily wear will be the colors of multicam, or if there is more of a "woodland" type color.

I went through this link that Joshfree provided and it appears that there are variants of multicam that will result in three different patterns (woodland, desert, transitional).

Its a good day for the Army and kudos to the CSMA for letting it slip. The official announcement still prolly wont come till October at the AUSA conference where they will highlight the Camo winner the new PT's and a new boot/undergarment color.

More news on it

Leave the boots alone and what undergarment color? A new T-shirt color?

jungle school did get revived, in Hawaii.

The latest talk trend about the new uniform is located here

Supposedly a decision has been made. I saw Gen Odierno a few days ago and was tempted to ask him but the brief was on something else.

The rumor is a digital version of multicam with Marine Corps desert/woodland as bookends but on the SSD site, it gives the impression that the US Army finally made an agreement with Crye on the regular Multicam pattern.

Hopefully a decision will be announced by the Army's birthday.
