US-MMILITARY-UNIFORMS
This combination of images obtained November 21, 2013 from the US Department of Defense(DoD) shows the combat uniforms of the various US military services. L-R US Air Force, US ARmy, US Marines, US Navy and the US Coast Guard. Camouflage may be designed to blend in, but for the US military, a plethora of combat uniforms offers a way for each branch of the armed forces to distinguish itself. In Congress, the costly proliferation of camouflage has angered lawmakers, who see it as an illustration of Pentagon extravagance. Before 2001, American troops all wore the same camouflage uniform, a green version for temperate climates and a beige model for the desert. But as military spending mushroomed after the September 11 attacks, the US Marine Corps, Army, Navy and Air Force crafted their own combat uniforms for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. == RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / MANDATORY CREDIT: "AFP PHOTO / US DoD / NO SALES / NO MARKETING / NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS / DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS ==
