Military News: British Troops To Get First New Camouflage In 40 Years

   Congrats to the British for picking an outstanding camouflage.  Kudos to Crye Precision for making such an excellent camouflage too.  I am not sure what the reaction is of the troops, but I am sure they will welcome the new threads.  I know multicam has been getting a lot of positive reviews from some of the special forces crews and such operating in Afghanistan.

   Meanwhile, the U.S. Army is still using a uniform that stands out like a sore thumb.  What is that stuff called, UCP? I think they will be getting a change of uniform soon from what I hear…..I hope. –Matt

British troops to get first new camouflage in 40 years

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.

It is specifically designed with Afghanistan’s Helmand province in mind, the ministry said in a statement. The British military have suffered heavy losses in the southern province this year. More than 100 British troops have died in Afghanistan in 2009, making it the deadliest for UK troops in many years.

The new design was put together in six months, funded as an “urgent operational requirement” project worth £250,000 ($400,000).
