Yes.
Except for III Corps (Fort Hood), the entire US Army
is painted 3-color NATO.
Every Army vehicle at Fort Hood is painted Tan. It
was considered evidence of the CG's mental instability
at the time that the decision was made. This was a
few years prior to Desert Storm. So of course we
stayed that way and the next war we fight will
probably be in a jungle. :)
As a side note, CARC paint is highly cancerous and
must be applied in controlled circumstances.
