Guess who else is thinking of going back to “pinks and greens”.

Looks like CANSOFCOM might find itself in the same dess uniform as the US Army.

US Army is buying from Logistik Unicorp?

I think the uniform looks good...and it avoids the crazy bus driver forage cap! :nod:

First time I noticed the Formation Badge (?) is similar to the Second World War, First Special Service Force.

Sharp uniforms.

Somewhat reminiscent of the WWII US Army Pinks

Strangely enough there seems to be a move back in that direction by them.

I know that the blue, historically came before the khaki in their uniform colours but if they're going to this vs the blue, then it's a good move.  This, looks sharp whereas the dress blues are so very fugly.  To my eyes, not strange at all.

Well, now we know where our old tan DEUs went…

From what I've read, it doesn't replace the blues but more like the USMC green uniform.

Channelling my inner RSM/Adjt.... nice uniform, but incorrectly worn.

Paraphrasing the Dress Regs, earned foreign skill badges can be worn:  a) when in the awarding country, or b) when officially hosting someone from that country.  MGen MR is wearing the US Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, while not meeting either of the criteria above.


CHAIRBORNE!

May as well point out the beret is not being worn IAW CFP 265 either... rly:

Beret. The beret shall be worn evenly on the head, with the sweatband 2.5 cm above the eyebrows, the badge centred over the left eye, and the crown pulled downward to the right. The break of thesweatband shall be worn centred at the back of the head, with no draw string visible.

I think the whole ensemble looks a little goofy. But thats just me.  ;D
