The Army Combat Uniform (ACU) consists of a jacket and trousers in the universal camouflage pattern (UCP). The ACU is normally worn with a black beret or a patrol cap in UCP, a moisture-wicking T-shirt, and Army combat boots (temperate or hot weather).
The ACU is the culmination of many months of research and development by Soldiers for Soldiers. The ACU enhances Soldier performance by providing a functional, ergonomic uniform that can be tailored based on the mission. The ACU, including component materials, is manufactured in the United States using the same industrial base that produced the Battle Dress Uniform. This ensures the highest quality control and supports the American workforce. The ACU is worn with ancillary items, including hook-backed embroidered U.S. Army tapes, name tapes, and rank and shoulder sleeve insignia. The ACU is machine washable and contains a wrinkle-free treatment, decreasing out-of-pocket expense to Soldiers for expensive cleaning and starching.

Pretty boss uniform.
i saw a statistic somewhere showing deaths of american soldiers with each time of uniform since the american revolution that was pretty interesting. especially when you consider how much better weapons have gotten, as well. deaths have gone down almost exponentially with each new uniform type. they must know what they are doing )

good info. I am in another country but like US military stuff that i have seen in movies and what not. Although not 100% accurate, I am sure they are a good insight into the military.
It looks a bit different than the spanish one, the jacket is like a bit more loose...
That guy seems legit =)
So badass!

I've heard that your army has stopped using Velcro. Am I right?

anyway these must be very well designed to hold all the things they must go trough.
