Desert Brush was part of the Natick camo trials to find a universal camouflage for the Army. In the end Desert Brush was the overall winner. However for some reason it was tossed aside and the decision was made to go with the current UCP instead, which wasn’t even part of the trials.

edit: Oops, got the wrong camo thread. I'm sure there's one that did not decompose yet. Maybe David can join them?

Yes there were seven threads on matters camouflage, BCU etc, including several which featured Oprah and cartoons. All now merged here and the title amended.

If I’m seeing right those guys are using Mystery Ranch packs. So it’s not all bad.

KiwiGrunt,

What is the metal tube being carried by the soldier in the foreground, that is on the right of his body? It looks like - for an amateur - to be a combat shotgun.

It does look like it, but it also looks like the barrel is being dragged on the ground.

Maybe it’s a piece of a breach kit?
