WWI US MILITARY UNIFORMS

The United States military became aware that warfare was changing. The old approach of formation lines was no longer a viable way to fight. Advances in weaponery and transportation dictated a new way of fighting. The soldier would now be required to utilize mother earth and her surroundings. The Spanish American war was the first conflic where the United States employed Khaki colored uniforms.

The early 1900's saw the begining of the re-evaluation of the design of the combat uniform. The priority was to design clothing that was comfortable to wear and that would leverage colors to better blend with the surrounding environment.
