From the Paper:

"According to a press release concerning the ACU from Army.com (2006), the new ACU comprises a jacket, trousers, patrol cap, moisture wicking t-shirt as well as the newly introduced Army Combat Boot (Temperate and Hot Weather) (The New Army Combat Uniform, 2005). The new ACU is a wrinkle-free uniform that features a digitized camouflage pattern (Triggs, 2004). The report from Army.com also notes that the new ACU is the result of lengthy R&D efforts as well as collaboration with the soldiers who are required to wear it. Moreover, the ACU is contributing to the effectiveness of soldiers on the battlefield by providing a uniform that can be customized to the individual mission; providing enhanced functionality and ergonomics over the existing Battle Dress Uniform; and, eliminating the need to provide different types of uniforms for different environments (The New Army Combat Uniform)."
