I know the army made a field jacket in the old ACU (UCP) pattern, but do we know if they have/will make one in multicam or OCP?

Yeah! I've got my dad's old OG-107 one from Vietnam in the closet at home and it seems still fairly practical as a piece of equipment, so I don't know why they would stop making them. The whole ECWCS system is cool and all, but I find it too complicated for a practical field use (it's got about 7 different layers to it!)

No. I live near Fort Leonard Wood, and since we went to OCP, the field jacket has disappeared. The Soldiers in training get fleece and Gortex now....

The wet weather jacket with the liner for the field jacket were the best for staying warm.

Kinda hope they do, an extra layer for the cold days in the field. In addition, I wouldn't mind turning one into a patch jacket. Though the Desert Storm era jackets look the best to me.

Hopefully not. They are the ugliest things in the clothing bag.

Looks like they've opted to the layered system so I doubt it. I still have mine though so I'll always have the memories.

It was put out when OCP was adopted that the field jacket would be discontinued. It was being eliminated anyway.
