Who remembers G.I. Joe: The Real American Hero?
The 1980's G.I.Joe comic strip and cartoon were based off of the U.S. Military's "Rapid Deployment Force", or "RDF". The RDF was created in 1980 under President Carter to provide a quick and immediately deployable American military response to trouble spots. The straight pocket ERDL uniform became known as the "RDF Fatigues", even though their existence predates the actual formation of the RDF. Throughout the 1970's, the vast majority of the U.S. Military remained in solid OG-107 or OG-507 combat fatigues. Certain units, such as the Special Forces, SEALS, Marines, the Rangers, the 82nd Airborne and select other units who were considered rapidly deployable were issued ripstop ERDL uniforms in both green and brown dominant patterns. This often overlooked uniform was a mainstay for elite units and acted as a bridge between the Vietnam jungle fatigues and the Battle Dress Uniform.
