Not a huge deal probably, I figure they are going to be spending a lot of time in MOPP4, not exactly discreet there.

The Army, in it's wisdom, does not allow soldiers to purchase the Desert BDU - they are NOT available through the clothing sales system.

Thus, the only way to get these uniforms is through the supply system, which, as you might have guessed, is not as responsive as it's commercial counterpart.

Most units tagged for mideast duty already have the uniforms, but the 4ID doesn't have a specific mideast mission.

This is not about money, it's about responsiveness and preparation.
