M.Dancer Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 This is interesting. Remember the uproar about Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan being sent with woodland camo...cause we didn't have any desert camo (not that we had ever been tasked for desert combat...) In a very short time our soldiers had sandy coloured uniforms... The Brits, who have been there as long as our troops have just had their designs unveiled...soon to be deliverd. London, England (CNN) -- British troops will get new camouflage uniforms for the first time in more than 40 years, based on computer modeling of Afghanistan's terrain, the Ministry of Defence announced Sunday.The "multi-terrain pattern," as the military has dubbed the new design, is the first new pattern from the Ministry of Defence since 1968, it said. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/12/20/uk.army.camouflage/index.html Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
DogOnPorch Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Seems the new pattern is for use in Helmand province which does have a fair amount of 'green' compared to the rest of Afghanistan. Edited December 24, 2009 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
