Philosophy, operational environment, necessity, allocation of funds, mission.
We used to have garrison and field 'duty' uniforms; now there's basically one being worn for both roles.
The IDF has its 'traditional' basic uniform seen in your (and most) pics, and also has a couple variations of camouflage uniforms it issues to some units like we used to do, too.
How many years was OG the standard color of our duty (Class D) uniforms?
I wouldn't lose any sleep pondering it over, Lucy.
And so it goes...
