"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.

Nope. But enlighten us with the bullet point recommendations please.An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost.

1/ Single colour.To future proof against uniform pattern changes
2/ Laser cut MOLLE
3/ Scalable
4/ Single variant.Females to be accommodated with greater size range.
5/ Soft armour and plates
6/ Suite of pouches.
There are a few other recommendations but they are not for discussion on the open forum."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.

Single colour, guessing olive green, will be interesting in desert environmentsIt is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

I was in Northern Iraq - Kurdistan - several times this year and MTP was fine, my green daysack was moderately dirty and it didn't stick out at all. Lots of people
around Erbil were in variants of the old US Woodland pattern and with just a day's worth of dust on them they didn't look out of place at all.
As long as it's not too dark, dull, a bit dusty/dirty and IRR it will be fine.Last edited by ropebag; 19 December 2018, 18:17.

Laser cut reduces fabric weight and bulk because less stitching, threads, etc. needed.
Smock hood looks like zip off by photo inside room. Good idea to be removable whichever way it works.An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others.

Normally when lads from the Wing go on "green Army" courses they are expected to wear the same kit as the rest of us mere mortals.The Gucci kit gets left in the unit until the course is over.
AFAIK the Infantry Platoon Sgts course are trialing some new kit.And yeah.The GSBA report recommended a helmet upgrade.(Four point harness,upgraded ballistic protection,integrated NVG mount etc)Last edited by apod; 26 February 2019, 20:17."Let us be clear about three facts.
