and who are they hiding from during the exercises? One of the best parts of training exercises from what I've heard would be the lack of combatants trying actually kill or maim you.Militaries will often deploy units to training environments without going through the cost of issuing region appropriate battle dress.
I was in a "desert warfare" unit stationed in the swamps of Georgia (USA).
We wore woodland camo uniforms, like those in the above photo. We deployed annually to shitty, sandy places to train (Mojave desert in California, occasionally Turkey or Egypt) We kept the woodland camo uniforms through those training environments.
When actually deployed for combat (Desert Storm) they finally opened the purse strings and issued the desert camouflage gear.
So, taxpayers, do you want to complain about the cost cutting effects of the out of place camo patterns or do you want to complain about the higher cost of military spending to issue twice as many uniforms?

The dreaded OpFor.
I hear they get in trouble if you end up dead because of them. By the way I had to look up what that OpFor is.
