Why would you have to send in MARPAT uniforms to be modified? They already come with pockets on the sleeves.



One thing to watch out for with the thigh rigs, chaffing.


Also, regarding the US Army an wearing ACU. Some units only wear ACU in garrison, but on FTXs they wear their BDUs, since BDUs blend in an are tougher than the ACUs.

Here's a couple pics of ACU in the woods/grassy areas

Also, all that talk about needing a Urban camo is BS. Military does not use any type of urban camo. The USMC trialed a urban camo pattern in the late '90s, after that Ex it was never used again. In FIBUA, etc they wear their normal woodland or desert uniform, depending on location of the training area. In theatre its all DCU an ACU for Army an Desert MARPAT for the Marines.

When your doing FIBUA an kickin in doors, etc the best camo in the world isn't gonna help. The enemy will see you, there is nothing stealthy about fighting in doors. Camo is a not important, speed, aggression and teamwork is key.
