US Army camo uniforms: rumour control
Well, its certainly interesting to see how much interest there has been in the story about the US Congress asking the Army to issue a better camo uniform for troops going to Afghanistan.

“Strike! Hold!” is the motto of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment (in which I served from 1983-1986). To me, this is a good motto for special / unconventional ops: ‘STRIKE’ from the sky, from the sea, or on land - and ‘HOLD’ true to your mission, your unit, your comrades.
