Navy Working Uniform Type II/III Website Launched
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) launched a Web site for the Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type II/III Aug. 9.
The website is intended to provide detailed information about the new uniforms, including development history, conformance testing data, frequently asked questions and answers, news and updates, photographs, and contact information.
"We want to provide the best Web site possible to inform our expeditionary Sailors about the new uniforms," said Andy Hu, NAVFAC NWU Type II/III program manager.
NAVFAC also has a Facebook page so the program manager can receive additional feedback, and visitors are encouraged to join or start a dialogue about the NWU Type II/III.
These new tactical uniforms are undergoing conformance testing this summer and are scheduled to be issued to the expeditionary Navy in spring 2011.
Visit the NWU Type II/III website at http://www.navfac.navy.mil/nwu, and the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/NWU-Type-II-II/147583515252522?v=wall.
The USN (and USAF, AND US army for that matter) should've gone for the USMC's choice from the beginning. Should be a few EFVs worth.
ReplyDelete(The RNLN exchanged two uniforms for one dark blue universal, all other services use the same camo. Saves money and creates, well, uniformity).
and on top of everything you said the US military has a history of wearing the same camo.
ReplyDeleteduring the 80's and 90's woodland camo was used by all the services. when the USMC developed a better camo uniform, the Army broke off and tried a one up with the universal whatever its called.
it didn't work and then the Navy came up with its abomination. sad.
