So, what environment it its supposed to be hide in?
What's the fucking point of navy sailors or airmen using camoflage?
Were camo already went full circle and get back to identification and simply looking cool in own distinctive uniforms, like napoleonic era uniforms instead of...you know...camoflage?

IIRC, it works p well on those rocky islands they get deployed to in SE Asia.

Genius.
As it turns out, there is no point which is why the Navy is moving onto the Type III. An equally shitty camo.

Now this sounds more sensible for PLA Marines.
Still not necessary for their Airborne though. Stupid for USN Type I.
But still, why would Navy and Airforce need their uniforms to be a camo at all
Espirit-de-corps.
And apparently the nevvy wanted to hide oil and grease (read: cum) stains.
Active Navy here, they are already phasing in a new uniform (well an old one) they are expanding to the rest of the Navy. NWU Type III, originally for Spec. War and Expeditionary units. Should be issued to new recruits by the end of this month and completely phased in by this time next year.

just to add:
1) seabees also wore this uniform
2) uniform is for shore command the blue cammies are still for sea.
3) black boots for non seal/exp/seabeas tan boots for cool bros.

We don't wear NWU at sea anyway, we wear coveralls. Except for topside watches in port, Which will be Type III.
