- Correction: The NWU Type II/AOR I pattern kept the same orientation as NWU I, horizontal. At 4:02 it is said and shown to be vertical.
The final video in our first series covering the US Military's long and arduous process of updating and modernizing its camouflage patterns. In this episode we cover the US Navy's Task Force Uniforms, The Navy Workman's Uniform and the Area of Responsibility patterns.

I can't believe the Navy didn't test the flammability of the blue cammies before issuing them. Seems like a huge oversight.
I was in the German Army and worked for a NATO command for a few years in the mid-2000s. I remember getting more and more confused over the years with all the new US uniforms coming in. At the end, the US branches seemed to have more different uniform patterns then many of the European and Canadian forces combined. Needed to look at the flag to be sure which country I was dealing with as the uniforms constantly changed :) Felt like they went a little overboard with this development during this era.
I feel like Marpat is the only uniform that seemed to worked from the begining
Only the US military could squander this much time and money.
I love how every branch wanted their own unique uniform and after that major screw up, all, apart from the Marines, have a variation of Crye multicam
The army's UCP would have been great for the Navy!!!!! it would have blended them into the urban gray on ship and highlighted them if they fell overboard!!!! The army should sell their pattern to the navy!!! LMAO!
A solid blue or solid grey would have been perfectly serviceable, why even bother with a pattern? they wanted to blend in with the ship...
Actually if you think about it, if the Marines, Army and Air Force all got their own camouflage patterns, then the Navy could stay with Woodland and still have a unique pattern!
As many problems as it had, I always liked how the Blueberries looked.
i never knew there was an uwu uniform
Navy has blueberry camo,
Having a unified digital look between branches as a branding image made a bit of sense, and hiding stains also makes sense, the Australian Navy have a similar Navy variant of their camo for example.
Seriously how do you not have more subscribers? Your videos are very descriptive and detailed, love the content brother, keep it up =]
The Blue NWU looks damn good. I didnt know the NAVY wore the SKY Camo BDU . I thought it never got adopted it was worn by the PLA - People's Liberation Army of China. I wonder if any ever wore Urban Camo . I know Night Urban was worn by Special Operations.
The "tatical sleeve pocket" was only good for one thing. It's more commonly referred to as "the dip pocket" because it's the only thing that sailors would use the pocket for.
Ideal uniform for all branches: take the cut of the nwu type ii/iii and make them in desert and woodland marpat. Collar integrates well with body armor, Marines can use their collar rank while in garrison and have removable hook and loop patches for field/training, hook and loop on sleeves works for the army patches, army and air force get camo that actually works, and the cut of the uniform allows for sleeve rolling.
I actually really like the bright green uniforms. They stand out against the water and match the maritime aesthetic.
I was wondering how blue camouflage is supposed to work.
The NWU blue digital had a experimental type that if salt water soaked it would become bright orange so if you fell overboard youd be able to be spotted quickly. However, with salt water mist in the air and sailors being naturally belligerent towards each other (throwing salt water on each other) the Navy decided not to go that way
I remember these in boot camp '05. A lot of the staff and RDCs wore the woodland variant
