i agree with supergrunt re: cammo
when we went to Saudi, we deployed from Germany with OD Green Tanks. When they ('tangos') arrived in-country, the first stop was a quickly thrown together set of covered painting areas. the 'Spray Shacks' resembled those self-service carwash drive-ins, except you had to get out of the tank and (in my case) the driver and loader put on protective suits, boots, and breather-masks. (which were just old MOPP suits) We then hosed the tank down with what's called CARC paint, which is highly toxic. According to protocol, we should have sandblasted the original surface, washed with detergent, let dry, then sprayed with solvent. However, War being what it is, all that SOP went STRAIGHT out the window and we just washed quickly then painted.
Anyway, just thought i'd pass that real-world tidbit of info along. In general, tho, we ONLY used cammo net in the European theatre and never bothered with attaching sticks or bushes or any of that.
