British, US troops redesigning camo for Afghanistan use

GRAFENWÖHR, Germany — Soldiers heading to Afghanistan could soon be issued new combat uniforms that would offer better camouflage based on their operating environments.

Two 4th Infantry Division battalions are wear-testing new uniforms in eastern Afghanistan right now, according to Col. Bill Cole, a project manager for soldier protection and individual equipment at Project Executive Office Soldier. And a decision could be made by early February to field new uniforms to all soldiers heading downrange.
