Grant, your best bet for getting a feel for what the troops in the field look like is to go to a photo sharing website and search for OIF subjects. As far as the camo patterns go to EBAY and search for Marpat (Marine pattern) and ACU( Army Combat Uniform). The Army ACU pattern is definetly NOT green. The overall impression is grey. Up close the two 'green' shades appear similar to Luftwaffe graugrun(grey-green).
The temperate Marpat has more of a yellowish tone than the old BDU colors owing to the elimination of the sand and brown components,
which have been replaced by a sort of dark mustard color kind of like MERDEC Field Drab. HTH. |
