So we got a new camo huh?
Take this with a grain of salt, maybe a can or 5lb bag of it. But RUMINT has it that SOCOM has selected a new camo pattern for us all to wear. There are even pics of it.

So in a effort to sort out some sort of accuracy, has anyone seen it, seen anyone in it or heard any new details about it?

Same colors and similar pattern, but digitized.
They are avalible online.
No link, or experience .
Ever since the ACU's came out everybody thinks they're getting a new uniform next month....

According to industry sources the Program Manager for SOF Survival, Support, and Equipment Systems announced that two camouflage patterns known as AOR1 (Desert) and AOR2 (Wooded) would be transitioned in SOF and that certain contracted systems in Khaki and Ranger Green would move to the new color schemes.

US SOCOM news: new camo, new rifle New Camo Well, after months and months of speculation on military fanboy and wannabe sites, it now seems official that the US Special Operation Command is going to transition to a new camouflage pattern for its uniforms and personal combat gear.

What - another officer stuck in an out-of-branch good deal R&D slot needing to push something unnecessary through the system to justify his LOM?

be advised that there is no such thing as "Digital Multicam"
there is a commercial pattern that knockoffs the pattern organization, coloration and then pixelates the result
this is NOT from CRYE nor is it Multicam (tm)
re: the AOR patterns - Eagle, and LBT both had gear samples made up in these colors displayed at the SHOT show. I was not terribly impressed, but as long as the color does the job, then no worries.

Look guys,It's great if they can come up with a camo pattern that can make you almost invisible by blending in to the terriain to the enemy....... But, with all your armor nowadays,does it really make a difference? I never had an opportunity to wear the gear so please forgive me if I'm stepping on toes here......

I recommended to the CDR that we hold a GOSSEX (gossip exercise), wherein we assign NAIs to validate intel derived from RUMINT.

Wew, I'm back. That was a rough one. I must have been out at least 22 hours. Did I miss any news releases from SOCOM on the uniforms?

He's working on it. We would really like some resolution before we LD, or we'll have to rely on GUESSINT (which, when corroborated several times, turns into RUMINT).

I hear the new generation camo will be shape-shifter capable. You can look like a tree, a rock, Bin Laden, a water buffalo, a warrant officer, etc. at the flip of a switch.
I think they call it Chameleoflage but I could be wrong.
Batteries not included.
