Hi,

Maybe this is a repost but I'm quite new on this website and I don't know how to use it well yet:oops:

I need pictures with Special Forces Operators wearing multicam.

If you have some, thanks a lotp-)

There are a number of other threads on this I think. Anyway, from reading a few, I'm not sure that any SF use Multicam. I saw a picture on this forum of a soldier wearing it, but think it is a promo shot from the crye precision website. You'll get plenty of responses on this one, seems to be a hot topic.

Polish GROM adopted a slightly modified version of it recently.

Slighty? AFAIK they reduced it down two colors, darkened it a whole lot and made the entire pattern smaller scaled.

It looks a whole lot better though, imo.

Two colors? The Polish version looks very similar to the original Multicam:

What exactly is the screaming hard-on folks have for Multicam?

It's beyond any kind of MARPAT vs ACU vs AirforcePAT(whatever)
It's like a cult...what gives?

Looks EXACTLY the same to me. After all, if it's "MultiCam" then there's only the one authentic pattern - anything else wouldn't be MultiCam.

If you've ever seen it in the field you will realize how amazingly effective it is.

Just one color was removed from the pattern, the report was squeezed to 64 cm. Now this copycat "Suez" is being used by some GROM, BOR and CBS operatives here. Current uniform differs in many details and cut from what Crye or SKD presents.

From my range pics, earlier in December:

Works OK in dry vegetation and direct sunlight.

Catch - do you have any close-up photos of the pattern / coloration?

The darker kind of reminds me of the vegetato in direct sunlight.

If you've ever seen it in the field you will realize how amazingly effective it is.

I have seen it with my own eyes and it's just a 50/50 woodland/arid pattern. There is nothing amazing about it except the hype. If I really would have to choose a "universal" camo leaning on arid environments it would probably be this one, it's pretty good.

Completely unrelated, but your reference of "THE FIELD" somehow magically made my meter go off, is this "THE FIELD" you are talking about :)

Thanks a lot Ubar^^.

Another question:

Does anyone know if the 5th Special Forces Group ever used MC, or tested it?

If it is "secret", you can use pm to answer me.

Thanks a lot for all your answers.

By the way, talking about the GROM, are they in "cooperation" for testing the MC?

Excuse me if my english is a little bad^^.

The Polish one is called "SUEZ" And should be labelled that way.

I heard from a reliable source that 5th Group did buy some MC - as a unit purchase - for use in Afghanistan.

Switek - thanks for clearing up the difference between MC and "SUEZ". The pattern viewable on Catch22's leg photo looks good - but it still looks virtually the same as MC to me. Guess I need to see the two patterns side-by-side to notice the difference.

Hey dude, did you ask the owner of those if you could post those on the net??? I think not.

Question about the suppressor on that UK operator standing up on the left, is the suppressor on his carbine the Knights Armament one or the one by Surefire? I'd like to think it the issued Knights Armament one issued to US forces, but the pic is a little blurry...

I have deleted the pix, however on your own admission it would seem to be a case of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. Perhaps not introducing them to the public domain in the first place would have been the best idea.

The same pix are posted in several places elsewhere on MP.Net, but I'm not going looking for them.

I guess that vice versa :|. Suez was initially designed as darker camo pattern than MC.

The Multicam pattern has brighter and darker areas, so comparing such small swatches won't be of much help.

You may think that, I couldn't possibly comment - I don't know for sure, I'm just making an educated guess, based on much speculation amongst informed sources.

Oh God, not again - the answer to that one must be printed many times on MP.Net but I think it's called personal preference surely?

Foot soldier as opposed to vehicle borne/AFV crew etc., etc. - think about it.

Ok, 2 guy's wearing MC, guy who posted pic's said they were Brit's,
look to be carring Dimacos,
1 has a UJ patch
they look like Brit's with their hair...weird but it just looks the part
1 has a weird "red and dark blue/black" patch on his shoulder and a 2 letter one on the other
unusual that if they were Brit's he doesn't seem to mind his pic being taken, even posing for it with an American...maybe they do, just seems odd to me.

Those guys are part of the AETF (Army Experimental Task Force). The unit are mostly comprised of combat vets, based out of Ft. Bliss.

The soldier is using the xbox 360 controller to operate a remote vehicle SUGV off screen. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2004/04/63036
