Assault (CAN)

Camouflage and cam patterns.

Recommended Posts

The Canadian Army is now being issued new kit to replace the old 1982 pattern stuff. The new CADPAT system works quite well, when not used in Afghanistan. Our troops went over there with *green* CADPAT uniforms instead of the desert ones. That’s the Liberal government for you.

Anyways, for all you guys abroad, I wan't to see what your Army's uniforms look like and what kind of kit you guys have to hump around.

Here are some pics of the CADPAT pattern and kit:

There you have it, everything but the boots!

I think the system works quite well, it is even resistant to IR goggles.

BTW, CADPAT=CAnadian Dispertion PATtern

Well, show me yours!

This is the current issue german "Flecktarn" pattern combat uniform and gear, deliverance started around 1993 for some KRK units to replace the obsolete grey combat dress (although i personally think the grey one was much more heavy duty and durable than the very thin and comfortable to wear Flecktarn uniform).

It´s made out of 65% cotton and 35% polyester.

Here are some pictures of the finnish m91 (model 91, from the year 1991, of course) combat uniform. It includes a kevlar helmet, combat vest which protects from shrapnel, and a belt with 5 pockets for equipment. The gear also includes a very advanced model 95 gasmask, and the uniform itself has a layer inside which offers some protection against NBC weapons. There isn't a different uniform for winter, but instead a hooded jacket and pants which are used over the normal gear.

No way!

Yep thats m/91 all right. And that's what you are going to see in every official army picture. But the old m/62 (yes it's from 1962) is still widely used. In a fact it is still more common than m/91. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from it.

I don't think so. I can't see what that tube is but we used a local brand.

Australian Army:

We changed a few years ago. Up until then we were using the US (?) cammo, but research showed it didn't blend very well into Australian bush textures.

(P.S. I have no idea why his face is blocked out)

Do the Australians use a Steyr Aug or an Enfield SA-80? I couldn't tell from the pic. I'm too lazy to look up the U.S. gear and post it. Right now we are switching from the old ALICE system to the new MOLLE system. When I was down at Ft. Benning some 82nd guys were there testing the Land Warrior system. They told me that it sucks. Everything breaks in the field.

here we have the scottish soldier    notice the camoflagued uniform he wears, no backpack either but the sporran can hold everything the soldier needs for weeks in the field.

also the safety head gear  which allows the soldier to lie prone without being detected in a mulitcoloured environment

Land Warrior isn't cool at all... Gimmie an M-16A2 and my LC-2 LBE and we're in business!

OICW looks like a giant tampon remover...

LOL, I can see it now. Computers+weapons? "This weapon has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"

The cam on the balaclava is the exact same stuff we use, I can see it.

I like those green boots on that Aussie soldier.
