Camp Lejeune, North Carolina-AP -- A Marine wearing the Corps' new camouflage uniform will be harder for the enemy to see on the battlefield. A lot harder.One sergeant at Camp Lejeune says he really had to look hard to spot Marines wearing the new gear up on a ridge-line.The colors are similar to those now in use -- woodland and desert patterns in greens, tans, browns and black.But the pattern is different.It's a collection of tiny squares, like the pixels in a computer photograph, rather than smooth-lined abstract shapes.There are other improvements as well. They're wash-and-wear, for one thing. And there's a set of pleats on the front of the pants.The sergeant says Marines made fun of the pleats at first, but "you sit down and they work with you."The outfits are being phased in.
