The Enhanced Flame Resistant Combat Ensemble is designed to be tougher.<br\/><br\/> The enhanced uniform is slightly thicker than the flame-resistant uniforms that Marines have worn since 2008, Bell said. Both the current and enhanced uniforms are made from the same material and have the same properties, he said.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;All the other characteristics are the same,&#8221; Bell said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just more durable\u00a0\u2014\u00a0it lasts longer.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> The Marine Corps is purchasing 70,000 of the enhanced uniforms in the woodland green camouflage pattern, Bell said. They will be available for deploying Marines beginning in July 2017.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;They&#8217;re not going to use it in training,&#8221; Bell told Marine Corps Times. &#8220;They&#8217;re not going to use it in the exchange or anywhere here. It&#8217;s only for deployers, as in a contingency operation.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> So far, the Marine Corps has not ordered the more durable uniforms in the desert camouflage pattern because the service has more than enough of the current flame-resistant uniforms for Marines fighting in desert environments, Bell said.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to waste taxpayer money by buying something we don&#8217;t need,&#8221; Bell said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve still got a large stock. We will burn through that stock and then we will buy the enhanced durable version as needed.&#8221;<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uniforms will be available to deploying Marines starting in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":50030,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":71,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[71,12,13,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1187],"class_list":["post-23277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gearscout","category-news","category-off-duty","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"54JVJ6N555DPDLTEPLIWMUJUBM","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/gearscout\/2016\/11\/28\/deploying-marines-to-get-tougher-flame-resistant-uniforms\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
