Navy looking to replace Desert Combat Uniforms (DCUs)
The CNO is considering options to replace the Desert Combat Uniform or DCU according to the Navy Times. The new cammie uniform will not be a new digital brown/tan version of the Navy Working Uniform (NWU). Those uniforms are reserved for Sailors in the Naval Special Warfare Command.
Outside of the SEALs and those Sailors who support them, the rest of the Navy continues to wear the DCU. The Navy DCU contract expires in 2012. The Navy could extend the contract or choose a new design.
Alternatives to the DCU are being considered, but no decision has been made by the CNO. Currently digital desert and woodland Navy Working Uniforms (NWUs) are organizational uniforms - issued by commands. The desert digital NWU is limited to SEALs.
The Navy DCU contract expires at the end of 2012. Adm Roughead will be looking at DCU replacement options over the next year. His objective is one uniform for different Navy communities.
