    Hopefully the powers that be will look at that article and the unqualified a******n's of uniform's that are NWU 1 and the Aussie's new NAMCU and realise that they are NOT "International best practice" and wadi the idea.
    Look at the recent pics of the Captain of the Roisin meeting the Italians and Maltese.Now.Those are modern naval uniforms.

    "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

From my understanding, they are going back to the previous woodland camouflage used across the US forces for decades. Which is NOT in service elsewhere now, hence further expense. Sounds like the US Army's ACU debacle. Going through Atlanta Airport, I saw US Army personnel transiting in a mix of uniforms - ACU and Multicam. And that was just the Army. The Marines have Marpat
          I think that they are going to use the US Army's new multicam uniform, while developing something for shipboard use that will end up looking like the RN's PCS uniform of solid blue.

          Total gang****.

            No.The article said they are sticking with NWU 3, which is the Navy's version of a woodland DPM,for shore roles.Much like the system our NS has at the moment for some of their roles.

              NWU Type 3 seems to be a US Navy version of USMC Marpat
              What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.

                          Looking at the variety of uniforms the RN have to have available (all 50 pages of them), there goes the €13 billion in just supplying them!
                          'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                          'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                          Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                          He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                            Hey it could be worse, how much has the US thrown away in the last 2 decades on new uniforms? Seems they are always announcing a replacement for one or the other.

                                DPM in colours that don't blend in with the environment except when you're on a ship or in the water seems...silly.
                                US Navy uniform looks terrible, except at the bottom of an aquarium where you can't see it. RAN version of Aussiecam is pointless. You don't need camouflage on a ship or boarding one, and sailors aren't marines.
