HKDan is right. Nomex suits are becoming more common, particularly for folks who spend a majority of their time inside vehicles like Up-Armored HMMWVs. Nomex offers far better flash fire protection. The Army has the suits in two-piece ACU color now, so it's basically ACUs except made of Nomex with some minor variations (the pockets are arranged a little differently). I don't know for sure, but I imagine the Marines will follow suit as it seems like a good idea.
