American military uniform

After giving up the plan of double-sided combat uniform because of the cost, the US military hopes to find an all-terrain camouflage to adapt to various combat occasions around the world. The bidders are ACU and Multicam. When bidding for multi-camera camouflage, ACU is not as good as the former, but due to the patent transfer of multi-camera camouflage, the US Army finally chose ACU. Its camouflage effect in urban environment is not bad. In night vision equipment (the edges and black color blocks of ordinary camouflage are easily captured by night vision equipment) and in a short distance (about 150m), the camouflage effect of digital color blocks is better than that of ordinary camouflage, but it is not satisfactory in desert and jungle areas (American soldiers once called it "office camouflage" angrily, because "it can be seen at a glance from a mile away. ?

Camouflage styles currently adopted by the US military:

ACU: The army uses gray-green digital color blocks, aiming at various terrains (in fact, the camouflage effect is only good in urban terrain, but not satisfactory in desert areas. According to people who have used it in temperate jungles, it is simply a target.

Abu: It's a gray-green digital tiger patch adopted by the Air Force.

NWU: navy, dark blue digital color block, used by crew.

MARPAT Desert: A khaki digital color block used by the Marine Corps for desert terrain.

MARPAT Jungle: A green/brown digital color block used by the Marine Corps for jungle terrain.

Multicam: used by a small number of troops (10 mountain division and some special forces), with yellow-green camouflage pattern, suitable for mountains, jungles, grasslands, deserts and other terrains.

AOR 1: The experimental camouflage and khaki camouflage blocks designed by Crye Company for navy special forces are used in desert terrain (there are no replica products on the market at present, but there are few genuine products and they are expensive. The price may come down after the seals are fully equipped.

AOR2: The experimental camouflage, khaki/green camouflage blocks used by SEAL 6 and designed by Crye Company for naval special forces, are used in jungle terrain (same as above).
