Issued to TOC Jockeys, PowerPoint Rangers, and Intel Weenies across the services, the so-called "FOBBIT" print features details perfectly at home in the sterile, pseudo-war environment of a Forward Operating Base, or FOB.

The design notably eschews the MultiCam melange of browns and tans, which the military says it will reserve exclusively for guys still conducting operations.

"So basically no one," one Army official explained.
