  • Camouflage Combat Uniform
    CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT UNIFORM COL Robert F. Mortlock, USA (Ret.) The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives. Part II analyzes how the Army decided to change the ITIO camouflage pattern on combat uniforms through UIS N Q UN C CH C A EAR OM IV an informed, knowledge-based process.

As a result, the colors—two desert, two woodland, and services had fragmented procedures for managing their uniform development three universal. In addition, the Army is programs, and did not consistently develop effective camouflage uniforms. GAO developing new uniform options and identified two key elements that are essential for producing successful outcomes estimates it may cost up to $4 billion in acquisitions: 1) using clear policies and procedures that are implemented over 5 years to replace its current consistently, and 2) obtaining effective information to make decisions, such as uniform and associated protective credible, reliable, and timely data. The Marine Corps followed these two key gear. GAO was asked to review the elements to produce a successful outcome, and developed a uniform that met its services’ development of new camouflage uniforms. This report requirements. By contrast, two other services, the Army and Air Force, did not addresses: 1) the extent to which DOD follow the two key elements; both services developed uniforms that did not meet guidance provides a consistent mission requirements and had to replace them.

    Ergonomics of the Rucksack: Timing, Accessibility, and Mobility Considerations by DreVan K. Anderson-Kaapa Thesis Submitted to the University of Houston In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Design 2018 Thesis Committee: Jorge D. Camba, PhD Gordon Vos, PhD Ricardo Bolaños, CPT U.S. Army 1 DreVan K. Anderson-Kaapa Approved by Committee Members: Chair of the Committee Jorge D. Camba, Phd ​ Industrial Design Gordon Vos, Phd Industrial Design ​ Ricardo Bolaños, CPT US Army Military Science ​ 2 ABSTRACT Military equipment is designed to protect and support soldiers in the operational environment, which can be highly stressful, hazardous, and extremely challenging. In addition to the rigorous training that soldier’s receive to operate under these conditions, they are also issued specialized equipment, spanning offensive, protective and supportive capabilities. It is critical that military equipment does not compound the stress that military personnel are likely to endure while deployed to a combat theatre. This paper examines the military rucksack as a crucial piece of equipment and the effects of rucksack design on the performance of military personnel. Specifically, we examine ergonomic factors of time, accessibility, and mobility which comparably have not received the same attention as other aspects such as load carriage and weight distribution. We report the results of three experimental studies with a group of participants designed to evaluate the drawbacks of current rucksack design from a human factors standpoint. Our results shed light on the most relevant problematic areas of current designs and the requirements for developing future more effective solutions.

The exhibition is presented by the Army’s Program Executive Office Soldier, the organization responsible for all equipment Soldiers wear or carry. The equipment that will be on display includes: -- Interceptor Body Armor with Improved Outer Tactical Vest and associated plates -- The Advanced Combat Helmet with ballistic protective nape pad and helmet sensors -- The Electronic Data Manager, a light, portable, touch- screen “kneeboard” computer -- The Generation III Extended Cold Weather Clothing System -- Thermal Weapon Sights, Generation II -- Enhanced Night Vision Goggles and the Sniper Night Sight -- The XM25 25mm Counter Defilade Target Engagement System -- The Lightweight .50 Caliber Machine Gun -- The M26 12-Gauge Modular Accessory Shotgun System The display will also feature a preview of the new Army Service Uniform, scheduled to arrive in military clothing sales stores by next summer.
