The US Army has adopted the psttern in one color.  When viewed up close, the uniform is comprised of computer-generated patterns of squares. The uniform was designed by Marines to improve survivability, as well as durability and comfort.   Two combat uniforms are used by the Marines,  DESERT and FOREST colors both in the digital pattern.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="desert_storm_uniforms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>DESERT STORM UNIFORMS                                </B><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B><IMG SRC="22811110.png" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="22ac8140.jpg" border=0 width="456" height="276" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="officer_blues_uniforms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>OFFICER BLUES UNIFORMS                                </B><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B><IMG SRC="22811110.png" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="22cc9650.jpg" border=0 width="457" height="357" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="officer_service_uniforms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>OFFICER SERVICE UNIFORMS                                </B><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B><IMG SRC="22811110.png" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="22dd8590.jpg" border=0 width="472" height="345" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="enlisted_blues_uniforms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>ENLISTED BLUES UNIFORMS                             </B><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B><IMG SRC="22811110.png" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="22ec1640.jpg" border=0 width="449" height="356" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="enlisted_service_uniforms"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>ENLISTED SERVICE UNIFORMS                            </B><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B><IMG SRC="22811110.png" border=0 width="17" height="17" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </B></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#00FF00" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="USMC RANKS"><U><B>BACK</B></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="22fd0620.jpg" border=0 width="464" height="354" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
