Can U.S. Special Forces wear anything they want in teh field (Green Berets, Delta, Force Recon, Seals etc)?

For camo...can they wear what they want or would Mrine Force recon have to wear the Digis Marines are issued...or Green Berets or Rangers have to wear the (terrible) ACU or can they all just wear whatever they want from olive drab...to tri color to multicam?
obviously i am not talking about FASHION! i was just curious..my friend and i were wondering because we saw pictures with miss match uniforms.....

Uniforms, equipment and weapons are dictated by the mission..... normally you wear the standard BDU uniform and carry the issued weapon.... until you make General you can not design your own uniform .......

In certain situations the command will authorize deviation if it supports the mission....EXAMPLE SF troops can grow beards when working with Muslim troops..... sometimes enlisted people are given fake promotions to "Major or Colonel" to facilitate a better working relationship with our counterparts..... BUT everything we do....everything we wear or use.....is command approve....NO INDIVIDUAL FASHION STATEMENTS..... (Had a Captain in Barbados get in trouble for wearing a "boot knife"..... )
