The Army has decided on a new camo <\/a>to replace the unpopular Universal Camouflage Pattern on your ACUs\u2014 and the selection is very similar to MultiCam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources, on condition of anonymity, confirmed Friday that the service has selected Scorpion W2 as its next Army combat uniform camo, a pattern born out of Army Natick labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous Army sources refused to comment on this story, expressing reluctance to get ahead of the service’s announcement on an issue that remains under intense Congressional scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military.com broke the news, reporting that Sgt. Major of the Army Raymond Chandler III has been briefing senior sergeants major throughout the Army about the new pattern for the Army Combat Uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
