| New U.S. Army combat uniforms camouflage "Operational Camouflage" available for summer 2015. | |||
Combat
uniforms featuring the United States Army's newest camouflage pattern
will be available for sale in the summer of 2015, officials announced
Thursday. The U.S. Army is calling its new camo the Operational Camouflage
Pattern, though it's been referred to in previous tests as Scorpion W2.
The pattern, with a color palette of muted greens, light beige and dark
brown, was developed by Army Natick Labs in Massachusetts. |

No
official image of the pattern has been released by the Army, although
a number of unconfirmed depictions can be found on the Internet.
The pattern will be used in all combatant commands, including Afghanistan, the Army said. Uniforms and equipment with the existing pattern won’t be discarded, but replaced only as they wear out. The
pattern was developed by the U.S. Army under the name Scorpion W2 to replace
the much-maligned Universal Camouflage Pattern, a pixelated combination
of green, gray and tan that some soldiers said provided bad concealment
in most places. Army Combat Uniforms bearing the new pattern will go on sale next summer, the U.S. Army says. |
