Country:  | Especially when you realize how many different uniforms a service can have. Look at our Navy. They have so many I think they are talking about cutting them down to only 3.

Country:  | Urm.. As far as I know, in the British Army they just call them CB95 or DPM's. (Disrupted Pattern Material)
Or more unoffically; "A sack of ****, tied up with green string in the middle." | |

Country:  | Well "Disruptive Pattern" would be the official name for ours too, but the boys just tend to call 'em greens usually. Or tans, when they finally got the desert sh*t. Took 'em long enough. I can't remember what they call the arctic crap. Probably just "arctic crap".  | |

Country: | I remember the air force had woodland camouflage, desert camouflage and artic camouflage in addition to the fatigues (basic OD green) and the dress blues.

Country: | The new ACU (Advanced Combat Uniform) uses digital patterns similar to the Canadian Army which the US Marines stole from them. It replaces woodland camo and desert camo so you only have to have one uniform now where ever you go.

The Canadian Army still issues the digital cammo in woodland and desert though. They don't just use the one colour. Anymore that is.  | |

Country: | Ours is a blend of greens, browns, and tans and we wear desert boots with it. I have not had mine issued to me though and it wont matter because they dont have flight suits in the that pattern so I will still have woodland and tan flight suits.

Country: | I always like the German Flecktarn that they use today. It is a quite interesting camo combo.
