SubscribeArmy Combat Uniform (ACU) Available for Online Purchase
The Army Combat Uniform (ACU) replaces the old Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) as the US Army’s standard camouflage uniform and is required for all soldiers by December 2007.
The uniform, shown at right, replaces the old woodland camouflage pattern with a digitalized pattern of grey, tan and sage green. This new pattern is based upon research designed to decrease the uniform’s profile when viewed in a natural setting. The Army removed the color black from the uniform due to the fact that deep black colors rarely appear in natural environments and it is highly visible to users of night vision goggles.
The uniform is available through Army supply channels, or anyone can purchase Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs) online without military identification.
