G'won -- I'm still trying to comprehend the "no-shine" boots.
I didn't know the Nyvy had any other kind...
Saw the Navy digi-flage outside about two hours ago. It might work after twilight, but I'm hard put to think of an environment, even urban, where it would not stand out like red rubber ball on an putting green in full daylight.
The original AF digital pattern's colors (Gray, Green, Tan, and Air Force Blue) worked better than this Navy pattern (and I would argue better than the current color scheme).
What? No reflective belt?Originally Posted by Van
Don't need them on that anti-camo. Then again, if you make the belts wide enough, they may even help........to blind the enemy.

Sew reflective belts into the uniforms at the waistline and cross the chest. It is more saftey oriented.Don't need them on that anti-camo. Then again, if you make the belts wide enough, they may even help........to blind the enemy
See things through the eyes of your enemy and you can defeat him.
Well it could be worse

From the Latin words, Digita, meaning finger and Flagellum meaning to whip? So, "finger whipping good?"

looks like the Chinese navy are also not too sure about this camoflage thing.She forgot to put cam-paint on her hands; I can see her...

So if we ever go to war with China, I'll know to be on the lookout for the people who look like they stepped out of the Avatar movie...looks like the Chinese navy are also not too sure about this camoflage thing.

I know that various Coalition SOF use multicam, but I'm starting to see photos of US line grunts using it as well...
These guys are 2nd Bn 12th Inf. Regt.
The uniforms are ACU cut in multicam and are probably COTS by Propper or Tru-Spec. Does this mean that the unit is providing them for the troops out of discretionary funds or is it part of a US Army-wide changeover?
Aussie troops in Afghanistan use their basic green DPCUs depending on the terrain and until the introduction of their new multicam-derived DPMs the Brits have been using green DPM tops with desert DPM bottoms for a little more disruption to their silhouette.
I gotta say I hope the Multicam changeover is US-Army-wide. Having seen some US Army personnel in Townsville recently wearing UCP ACUs they stood out like the proverbial dog's balls.

I think the ACU looks a bit too blue-ish on this photo, but other than that it's a good photo.
Good camouflage looks differently.
Multicam isn't truly good camo either; I prefer 3D camo on the arms and head:

You should have a look at the ACU's colours, that eases the pain (in regard to the British pattern).
It's said to be a Multicam version tailored for the UK, to look distinctly British instead of global Multicam. The costs are likely in great part license costs.
Multicam has a good reputation, but true combat/scout troops camouflage should be at last one step ahead of a mere print pattern:

simple, cheap, effective solutions to non-problems which the bureaucracy has ever-so-stupidly elevated to problem status in inane efforts to garner more funds from the taxpayers...
Sheesh.
