#FLECKTARN CAMO UPDATE#

Army in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. A “family” of uniform patterns based on the OCP will also be made, including a dark jungle-woodland variant and a lighter pattern for desert environments.įirst introduced in 2002, MultiCam was designed for the use of the U.S. The name Operational Camouflage Pattern is meant to emphasize its use beyond Afghanistan to all combatant commands, unlike the MultiCam pattern it is based on. In July 2014, the Army announced that OCP could be used in the field by the summer of 2015. The Scorpion W2 variant was modified from the initial pattern by Army Natick Labs. The original Scorpion pattern was developed by Crye Precision as part of the Objective Force Warrior program more than a decade ago. The new pattern will also replace the closely related MultiCam, a pattern previously used for troops deploying to Afghanistan. This new pattern will replace the Army’s Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP) as the official combat uniform pattern for most US Soldiers. Scorpion W2 is a camouflage pattern adopted by the United States Army for future use as the Army’s main camouflage pattern, under the name Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP).

I thought about this topic while reading Patriots the novel the cover always irritated the hell out of me because it shows a guy in ACU pattern clothing while the book they specifically chose the British DPM as it was a good woodland pattern, but different enough from regular and overly common woodland camo as to keep their personnel separate from any other people likely to wander through their area.

This article is a start and will grow, with more pictures being added over time. Pick a pattern that best suits your likely operational location and environment. No single pattern is perfect for every environment but here are some to scan through. I wanted a good database of commonly used patterns around the world.
