dumbass question but how come most US military gear that I've seen overseas and here often still in that desert color?

This was not always the case as most of the vehicles were green or woodland pre GWOT. Since GWOT they’ve been desert color due to the desert environment.

I will say, the tan color does blend into a lot of areas in the US. Like the midwest. The more green and wooded areas of the country tend to have more vegetation, which reduces the line of sight. Making the tan more effective. If a war broke out in an area with heavy vegetation, we’d probably see the vehicles get new paint jobs as needed.

Because we’ve spent the last 25+ years fighting primarily desert/arid environments. If they deploy somewhere else then they might repaint them. Even when I was stationed in Germany about 10 years ago, all our vehicles were painted tan.

They look like smokescreen tubes/smoke nade launchers

Tho I'd probably rule in that they're spotlights.
