WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Two new Navy Working Uniforms (NWU) will hit the fleet in fiscal year 2011.

 

The first, NWU Type II, a desert digital camouflage uniform of four colors with the anchor, Constitution and eagle (ACE) logo embedded in the print, will be worn by special warfare operators and Sailors who support them during deployment and deployment training exercises.

 

"The desert camouflage uniform is not going away," said Capt. Vince Drouillard, branch head within Navy's personnel, plans and policy division. "Sailors, other than Navy special warfare operators and supporting Sailors, will continue to wear the current tricolor desert camouflage utility uniform in desert environments when issued by authorizing commands."

 

The second, NWU Type III, is a woodland digital camouflage uniform which also has four colors and the ACE logo embedded in the print. It will be the standard camouflage uniform worn in non-desert environments and stateside.

 

Both uniforms, announced in NAVADMIN 374/09, are organizational clothing provided to Sailors by commands authorized to issue them.

 

The unisex uniforms will begin conformance testing to validate design, fit and wear later in fiscal year 2010. Fleet implementation is expected to begin in late 2011 with deploying combat and direct command support commands and units receiving priority in the distribution process.

 

Both new uniforms have an authorized matching pattern Gortex parka with a removable fleece liner. Sailors can get complete information on the new NWU Type II and Type III uniforms in NAVADMIN 374/09 available at www.npc.navy.mil.

VERY cool...now another expensive pattern for me to try and squeeze out of the woodwork! Im glad the Navy smartened up and decided to use Desert and Woodland digital instead of the Woodland and 3 Color desert like they were before. Im assuming this pattern is going to be identical to MARPAT, except it is going to have the ACE instead of the EGA.

Wow...so two MORE $200 parkas to buy? I don't mind the NWUs, but they certainly aren't cheap by any means!

Why would you buy them? This is organizational clothing, issued by the navy on an as needed basis and then turned in (in theroy) when finished with it.
