So tell me how many times has the USMC changed their Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform in the last 20 years?

2002 was when the USMC rolled out MARPAT it was heavily influenced by camo used by the Canadian Defense Force. The Marines won't let other services use it. (It also has a USMC logo embedded in the detail to discourage the services from using the same uniforms.)

Also, MARPAT doesn't meet the specs modern forces require for night vision masking/hiding. So the Army has been looking for something else.
