When can we expect to see our OCIE transition to match OCP? Is the Coyote Tan "overdye" process still going to happen?

It took a few years to convert our OCIE from BDU to ACU, so I'll go out on a limb and say it will probably be October 2018 before we start seeing anything.

I always loved wearing the OD Green mixed with the BDU, BDU mixed with the DCU, BDU mixed with ACU, mismatched is the way to go!!!! LOL

Well considering the wear out date for the ACUs is 2019, you will have all your ocie before then.

Good question. I wish I had more to add to this, but I don't know any more than you do, at the moment.

I remember a news article stating that the Army was looking into an over-dying process to see if it was feasible and I haven't heard anything since. I would suspect that they decided it wasn't worth it.

There is currently no schedule to swap everything to OCP (not that everything should anyway).
