Also in the bottom pic some of the troops have black boots on- did they ce boot issues with the multicam?

    Cleaar case of SOF types in the bottom pic's. No covers on the helmets, the velcro in the sides to attach their goggles, .308 AR based rifle non-M-110 so maybe a Glock. The next two have the ever popular RAW, Insght M-3X's and the Elcan DR.

    The top photos on the other hand are the good old 4ID.

    If you look, the SOF guys are wearing the correct Crye uniform.

    The 4ID guys are still stuck with the crappy ACU 'now in multicam!' The Army is flatly unable to do anything that is not half-asses.

    Wonder if that is a MK12 Mod 1 that the guy with the shooting sticks/bipod is shooting?

    ETA: After enlarging the picture, the upper receiver and no flash hider makes it look more like an SR25?

    That's odd. In the first picture it looks like he has a plastic cover on the flash hider, but yet, the dust cover is open?

    It's possible that the production rates of the uniform Crye offers wasn't high enough to field both currently deployed units and units deploying in the near future. You take current contract holders for those who already produce uniforms in the ACU cut and give them new fabric. Bada-bing, bada-boom, you have "the crappy ACU "now in multicam!" style uniform.

    Is it half-assed? I suppose.

    Is it better than rocking UCP? You betcha.
