Just "going back" wouldn't have cut it - the BDU design is completely outdated. Just think about all the advances uniform design has gone through in the last years - combat shirts, fire-resistance uniforms, generation III ECWCS and so on - all that stuff is non-existent in woodland camo and simply going back to the BDU would mean loosing all of it or effectively producing new uniforms in an old, not-so-great-in-the-first-place pattern.

One could keep the BDU patterns and stay with the ACU design.
... but then you would end up making new uniforms, so what's the point in producing them in woodland camo instead of Multicam?
yup...when not BLUFOR with the 2nd ACR I was OPFOR with the 509th at JRTC.
Hum... not having to pay royalties to Crye?
That wasn't the issue. The problem was getting a more effective camo pattern, and they were willing to pay for it. They now have the best pattern available so problem solved. Not sure why any of this should be confusing.
I wonder how pissed our military aid recipients will be when we try to pawn off UCP ACU's and gear on them.
That would make sense if we were invading Europe (again).
Oh well...if wishes were horses, you'd be in the Cavalry.
??????????????
Shh! Don't give ideas to Bill O'Reilly!
If that was the issue they could have gone with Desert All Over Brush -- which is on par with MultiCam as a universal pattern.
Probably because that would be admitting a huge mistake, which of course they wont do, right?
No it wouldn't have been anywhere near as effective since it is not an all terrain camo pattern.
