Afghanistan, 2009–2010
From November 2009 until November 2010, the 173rd Airborne Brigade once again returned to Afghanistan, this time to the provinces of Logar and Wardak. With combat experience already earned in other similar mountain regions in 2007 and 2008, the Brigade distinguished itself in combat regularly against the Taliban and fought tenaciously against them, while still promoting and attempting to legitimize the Afghan government. The 1st and 2nd Battalions saw extensive action in eastern Logar and Wardak. The 1/91st Cavalry was given a mission to transform western Logar province into a secure environment; a mission that was not greeted as an easy task. Given the province and its three major districts saw a massive influx of both foreign and domestic fighters due to the relatively calm winter prior to the brigade's arrival, its company-sized and platoon-sized elements found themselves in combat against anti-Coalition forces almost daily from the start of March 2010 until its relief. The Brigade returned to Europe and home station in November 2010.
Nota: la Brigata si stà preparando in questo periodo per il quarto dispiegamento che avverrà prossimamente.
Ti metto qualche link di siti ufficiali di riferimento, le cui informazioni sfido chiunque a mettere in discussione.
Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier is the Army acquisition agency responsible for everything a Soldier wears or carries. View our website at https://peosoldier.army.mil for more information on PEO Soldier.

Q. When will the Army start fielding Fire Resistant Army Combat Uniforms in MultiCam?
A. The Army, through Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier, will begin fielding MultiCam FR ACUs to deploying Soldiers as early as August 2010.
Q. Who will be getting the MultiCam uniforms?
A. At this time, only Soldiers assigned to units deploying in support of Operation Enduring Freedom will receive the uniforms. The next fielding phase, which is expected to begin no earlier than October 2010, will include Soldiers assigned to units that are already in Afghanistan. The overall order of fielding will be based on priorities established by the Army G-3 and availability of units. Exact fielding dates have not been determined. Priority for units already serving in Afghanistan will be established with guidance from Army Headquarters, U.S. Army Central Command and U.S. Forces – Afghanistan.

"One of the most frustrating aspects of the Army’s switch to MultiCam, aka the OEF FR-ACU, or “OhFracYou,” is the fact that PEO Soldier has prioritized the fielding of said-patterned gear to troops about to deploy, then will field the MC duds to troops in theater based on the logistics capability of each of the regional commands.
PEO has also established a cutoff date for units in Afghanistan who’ll get the MC suites to those units with more than 120 days left on their deployment as of November 2010."

Da tutti questi documenti si deduce che la 173rd non ha mai potuto ricevere la multicam per il dispiegamento 2009-2010. Quindi non per prima.
Comunque, se tu trovassi quell'articolo, potremmo dargli un occhiata, soprattutto alla provenienza.
