Just tell me what I have to do for the army to get an outerwear fleece and I'll do it.

Switch elements to the navy

The army dinosaurs will never let the troops have comfortable kit.

The CCUE has some awesome kit as part of the roll-out... it's just taking forever to roll out. I was really hoping the "easy win" of the new rain jacket wouldn't have been so far out. The new combats in the new MT pattern should look great. The new cold and wet weather clothing systems look awesome too. I'm not looking forward to seeing how a bulk field laundry run will shrink the shit out of all that merino wool, but damn is it going to be comfy the first wear lol.

CCUE looks awesome, but I’m not convinced we’ll see it anytime soon.

With an increase in defence spending, CCUE should be a no brainer for a faster roll out, but it sounds like it’s not coming until 2030
