In Afghan they wear DIsruptive pattern desert uniform (DPDU) and DPCU (disruptive pattern camouflage uniform) this is also called AUSCAM. Depending on the terrain they are operating in. They also wear multi cam more these days. In Iraq we only wore DPDU.

Then there's disruptive pattern naval uniform (DPNU) which is an altogether horrible looking thing, same pattern as DPDU but in greys and green....my lovely wife has to wear it everyday, and she being ex army hates it!

I really like it. The camouflage pattern is a thing of beauty.

There is nothing like family related militaria.
