Forget those green and white uniforms, soldiers: The Army's down to one service uniform color now: blue. And lest you think they're just ripping off the Air Force, Army leaders assure us that blue as an Army color dates all the way back to the uniforms worn by Continental Army soldiers in 1779.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
