MultiCam is privately owned by Crye Precision, the company that developed the original Scorpion pattern for the Army more than a decade ago. The Operational Camouflage Pattern, a modified version of the Scorpion pattern, belongs to the U.S. government and requires no fees to use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If ever there existed evidence that the Army needs adult supervision, this is it. They&#8217;re like fricken 13 year-old girls with a credit card at the mall. The thing that they don&#8217;t seem to realize is that no matter which camouflage pattern that they waste money on, every soldier&#8217;s uniform matches his environment within a few hours of rolling around in it. But, then, the people who are wasting money on all of this research and development don&#8217;t have much experience in rolling around in the environment &#8211; they only care about how cool they look at the PX snackbar and the payday loan office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the Army pointy-headed folks at R&#038;D have decided on which pattern they prefer for maximum Cool uniform designs and&#8230;surprise&#8230;it&#8217;s a slight variation of the Multicam pattern that they call Scorpion, again for maximum Cool Points; From Stars &#038; Stripes; The new pattern is said to be very similar to the MultiCam pattern, which became [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-army"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Uniform.jpg?fit=932%2C402&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4ozh1-e8v","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
