Prydain 1 Posted August 19, 2011 Beyond making a small point, why a thread? Do you have difficulty finding people to talk to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solidsnake2384 10 Posted August 19, 2011 Idk if its the new woodland but I think all Army units are being issued multicam instead of ACU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted August 19, 2011 The similarity to washed out Woodland ist obvious. Multicam works well everywhere ( see avatar) but is not the very best in "woodland" environtment...but still works well enought. I noticed that factory new "flecktarn" for example is often much too dark, but after a few years the washed out "flecktarn" works similar to a fresh MultiCam...The question here by is...how well will a washed out MC work...we have not seen it by now because MC is stil new.

sander 14 Posted August 19, 2011 Multicam has been adopted for the Army as the Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP) for units rotating into Afghanistan. The grayish three colour Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP) is still the default for other areas. The only exception to this general rule for the regular Army units is the ghilly suit base, which is only issued in Multicam and was introduced before the decision was made to issue OCP gear for duty in Afghanistan. Elements of the multi-service Special Operations Command do use Multicam more widely, but for the regular grunt it is only intended for wear when preparing to deploy or actually deploying to SW Asia. 2011 Portfolio Regards, Sander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PELHAM 10 Posted August 19, 2011 The UK forces realised they needed Multicam when this started happening lol: Going into combat with the wrong camo and having to dye it green - just embarrassing. I saw it on the news and wondered what was going on. No explanation was given about the Tie-dye camo. It's said that people at the MOD didn't realise that Afghanistan wasn't all desert.
