MCB HAWAII, KANEOHE BAY, Hawaii(October 24, 2003) -- With recent changes to the Marine Corps Combat Utility uniform, several all-Marine messages have been put out to offer guidance on the phasing-out of the old uniform. The messages basically state that the old camo should be completely replaced by 2006.
Currently, Marines must have one set of the new woodland digital camouflage uniforms, as well as three sets of the older-style woodland camouflage uniform. Both patterns may be worn with either black or brown authorized combat boots.
In April 2004, black boots will no longer be authorized for wear with the woodland digital utility uniform, but may be worn with the older-style woodland camouflage uniform. Black or green jungle boots may not be worn with any Marine Corps uniform.
By October 2004, Marines must each have a set of both the woodland digital camouflage uniform and the desert digital camouflage uniform to complement two sets of the original woodland camouflage uniform, as well as a pair of each the temperate weather brown boots, and the hot weather brown jungle boots available for wear.
One year later, October 2005, Marines must replace one set of the old woodlands with another set of the new digitals, and by 2006 the older camouflage should be completely replaced by the new digital uniforms, with each Marine owning two sets of woodland digitals and two sets of desert digitals, as well as the new authorized boots.
