Camoflage Uniforms

Well, the US Marines went and got themselves a new camo uniform and now the Army and Air Force are jumping on the bandwagon. Looks like each US service will have it's own distinctive pattern. Isn't this carrying things a bit far?

On a related note, how long will the basic DPM pattern soldier on in the UK?

If you look closely at the 'new' USMC dot pattern DPM. It ;looks remarkably like the dot camouflage of the Waffen SS from the late 1930's

I figure the American Army needs a new camie uniform. I think it should be blue jeans, flannel plaid shirts, red wing boots, brown leather belt with a choice big buckle. Either a cowboy hat or no hat and tank top t-shirt. The ruck sack should be kept with the addition of pork n beans, sour mash bottle, and some tobaccie.

It all seems very strange to me, surely you want to have the best camo, rather than just a distinctive pattern? And besides, when everyone else goes to copy the US types, they won't know which one to pick

Sounds good to me

I prefer boardies, no shirt,sunnies, slab under one arm, long board under the other

DPM is DPM. Don`t like the recent British version, the material looks like it was made by the lowest bidder

Chunky, the "dot" patern was called "Autumn Woodland" or similar. It`s probably still available in a certain establishment on the Mile End Road.
If not, don`t try Marks and Sparks

Lew,
That might hurt shoving a uniform up there! If anyone has a pic please post it. Our DPM seems to work fine here as we have a fairly similar woodland, in the states they have desert, woodland, greenland and ice. Dies this mean thay they will have an Army, Marine, Airforce version of each of the aereas as well? Costly!!!

The new Marine pattern called MARPAT is eerily effective. I think the digital pattern is more like the Canadian pattern than German flekertarn(sp?).
The new Air Force pattern is ridiculous though. Blue tiger stripes?!!

Does anybody have any links to these new uniforms?

I Tried google but was useless!

cheers, dave
