But I think those are the desert/hot places camouflage, and they do need it from time to time. And the knee thingies coordinate with the interior of the helmets, the goggles and, of course, the guns. Sort of a matching shoes & belt & purse concept.
I think, although I could be way wrong, but camo is one of three basic options. 1) Mess (formal) dress; 2) Uniform (the olive drab with jackets and ties, although there are lots of varieties, depending on rank); 3) battle dress (including camo and other purpose-driven outfits). Civilian attire is another option, either when on leave or if local circumstances dicate (e.g., when off-base in a foreign country).

Since the guy's in battle, he probably wasn't given a lot of choice. He's not wearing cold-weather camo, and he's not going to wear a tie. So he wears what he's told to.

As for imposters, I believe the army implemented a system of RFID tags embedded in uniforms to counter just such a problem. That, or something like UPC codes on the uniforms that serve a similar purpose. But it could be a problem.
