Previously, Marines would alternate between tan-and-brown desert camouflage in the summer and green woodland camouflage utilities in the winter on dates roughly coinciding with Daylight Savings Time changes.

Marine Forces commanders and commanders of bases or Marine expeditionary forces can take into account seasonal weather patterns when dictating the seasonal change from sleeves-down to sleeves-up. Commanders of troops in training, from boot camp and the basic school to military occupational specialty schools, can determine which camouflage utility uniform will be worn.
And commanders overseeing units in pre-deployment training can choose the utility uniform for wear based on "mission requirements," the message states. The new policy represents a significant departure for the Marine Corps, which has observed regular seasonal changes of camouflage patterns for the utility uniform since , just four years after the Corps' distinctive "MARPAT" camouflage was fielded to the fleet.
But in January, Neller approved a uniform change that included a waiver policy to the seasonal changeover to account for local climate and mission considerations, and gave Marine Forces commanders and certain other commanding generals the authority to approve waivers in their area of operations. Marines have in the past reacted strongly to changes regarding their beloved cammies.
