You'd think that for 5 billion bucks they could have come up with a man-portable cloaking device.

It comes down to about $5,000 per soldier.
That would include uniforms, TA 50 like vests, Goretex, field gear, pretty much anything that was Woodland or DCU pattern that we had to change to ACU camo.
IMHO, a jungle fatigue uniform in multicam would have been tremendously better. Hell, the DCUs and BDUs were better uniforms and better camo.

It may be true that Crye wins the bid for Multicam... LINK
SMA Chandler Lets The Cat Out Of The Bag – Crye Family Of Camouflage Patterns For US Army
Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond F Chandler III was quoted as telling troops from the 4th Combat Brigade Team, 10th Mountain Division, at Forward Operating Base Gamberi that the new Army camouflage would be a recolored variant similar to Crye’s MultiCam verifying what SSD has known for months.
Quote:

…Chandler also told troops that the new Army combat uniforms will likely be phased in starting eight to nine months from now. The uniform will feature different colors for different environments, but the pattern will be very similar to the mottled “multicam” currently used in Afghanistan under the designation “Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern.”

The 4 finalists were (clockwise from top left) Crye Precision, Kryptek, ADS Inc partnered with Guy Cramer, and Brookwood.

A recolored variant..
"...a recolored variant."
Which means that there is still an opportunity for the same decision makers and decision making process within the pentagon to screw this up just like they did when we DX'd the Green Class A's and then the BDUs.
Sounds good at the outset then it goes downhill from there..
Maybe we could end up with the ACU colors in a multi-cam pattern! LOL.

CONGRESS
I thought Congress was getting down on the Military for wasting money on different camo and uniform variations?

Kryptek is by far a better pattern out performing MC in a variety of environments however it isn't "garrison" enough.

I looked at their offerings and it looked really good. They have several options as well while (at least when I last looked) multicam had two.
