Army changes uniform


(05-Jul-2008) .-


To avoid being an easy target, the military operational fighting drug trafficking premieres camouflage uniforms this year.

The Directorate General of Garment factories and equipment at the Ministry of National Defense plans to produce 480 thousand uniforms campaign, including camouflage for jungle, desert and mountain.

According to Brigadier General Felix Molina Contreras, director of the factory, its facilities are developed since September 2007, an average of 2 thousand uniforms a day.

Sources from dependence assured that the military lucirán their new attire in the next parade of September 16.

Molina said that existing camouflage uniforms of the military operation presents several problems that expose them to be discovered in the actions antinarco, are cumbersome and have a worn appearance.

"They have a quick bleaching, including the first washed. The uniform is very hard and acartonado, the smell of the fabric is unpleasant colors and patterns imitate foreigners without taking into account national environments", he said.

The factory in the Sedena resorted to a study by the INEGI to determine the vegetation that exists in Mexico and thereby define the pattern of military uniforms.

The country has 60 percent of tropical forest and woodland, according to this report. The rest is arid and semi-arid vegetation.

The Army took place in July 2007 a field study in various military regions resulting in the colors of camouflage.

For example, in Baja California and Coahuila pattern is desert, while in Chiapas and Oaxaca is jungle. With photo exhibits, factory matched colors for new uniforms.

"With the help of laptop micro-flash with datacolor, it was possible to take measurements at the site of the color of the representative substrates such as sand, rocks and vegetation, as well as taking measurements of rates reflectance of the same substrates in wavelengths ranging beyond the spectrum of visible light, "said Molina.

Also, he added, there was distortion of digital images to obtain micro and macro photographs and overlaying patterns representing the effect of light and shadow to allow the simulation of the texture of environments and break the human figure in the light of the eye or appliances Night vision as long as possible.

The factory produces the Sedena anything that requires the soldier to his military activities, including boots, socks, underpants, jackets, backpacks, shirts, suits gala, bulletproof vests, helmets, sleeping bags, blankets, bunk beds, office furniture Flags of Mexico and officers.

Descartes forgery

The new uniforms this year that plans to make the Secretariat of National Defense will have cuts and prints that will infalsificables.

Apart from having a registration number and be made of material produced by the Sedena, will have new adjusters, bellows, tweezers, eyelets, and knots that will unmistakable for the military.

"The stamp is unique characteristics of uniform cuts in their designs and make them infalsificables," said a source from the Sedena.

"Anything that makes the Sedena is identified, each object has a key and a record. In the case of uniforms, fabric is unique to the Sedena and is manufactured to the highest standards of quality."

In several places you can get replicas of the current military uniforms.

Kind of looks like the Colombian's.

[Fade]

Very cool, thanks

[SilentType]

Wow, looks really bright green in that top pic. They might want to tone it down a bit since I think it would stand out anywhere near the boarder at least.

Well, the report says there is going to be a desert version for the northern troops. The green one goes south.

What-no "Multiscam"?

[MaverickCowboy]

can someone bring up the south american digis to compare side by side?

and isnt the columbian digi similar to marpat along with south korean?

[miguelencanarias]

Nah. The only similarity is the pixelation (and even in that they are way different). The Colombian camo has more earth-brown and black in it. From a distance it vaguely resembles a faded US Woodland. The Mexican one has almost no brown (just a tish) or black.

It is a step in the right direction, though.

guess north and south american is going to completly digitize everything?

@dragunov
thanks for the pics!

[Eddie_uv777]

Next time I go to Mexico, I'll snag a picture of it.

[Dragunov]

@dragunov

Well, North America is practically all digital for sure, Canada, Mexico and the US.

In Central America only Guatemala has started to use digital.

In South America,only Peru and Colombia, as far as I know.

[Shadowstorm]

Very nice. I'm glad to see the Mexican military moving into the 21st Century.

[miguelencanarias]

Peruvian Army new digital camo

[miguelencanarias]

Ecuador is using MARPAT (likely a Chinese comercial copy)

[miguelencanarias]

Guatemala is definitely using a MARPAT copy (note the clear spots, not used in the original, reminds me of the first evaluation patterns).

[miguelencanarias]

Last but not least, an interesting comparison between Colombian (right) and Peruvian patterns. If you ask me, I prefer the Colombian one by far.

[miguelencanarias]

If I am not much mistaken, Chile is using/evaluating ACU for some of their military regions. They are heavy users of American patterns (old woodland, 3-color desert...)

[Shadowstorm]

I wouldn't be surprised since Chile is still going through a rapid modernization of there armed forces.

[Shadowstorm]

Is Brazil and Argentina planning to use ACU camo for their troops, because I haven't heard anything about.

[shocker_HKG]

ACU is used by Special Operations Brigade (BOE, Brigada de Operaciones Especiales (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brigada_de_Operaciones_Especiales&action=edit&redlink=1)) of Chilean Army. Chilean Air Force personnel should change to new combat dress with "Fractural Omni pattern" which designed by HyerStealth in this year.

[el borracho]

I wouldn't be surprised since Chile is still going through a rapid modernization of there armed forces.

I hope they keep the pickelhaubes!

[miguelencanarias]

Talking of Chile and uniforms, I am still trying to forget some blue-ish camo extravagance I saw in an Air base when dictator Pinochet was sent back from England. I couldn't decide which was more disgusting: the uniform or the fact itself that he was left off the hook.

[Dragunov]

Good pictures. Didn't know Ecuador had digis.

Good question...maybe they should go for a HyperStealth CAMOPAT Gen 3 pattern...you can get an idea by looking at the Gen 2 patterns.

Camopat? Couldn't they have came up with a better name, like camothatworks or something?

[SilentType]

Cool, so interesting watching all the western nations modernize their forces.

[3rdMillhouse]

The Peruvians are also using a digital pattern, that looks more like a pic of the Andes printed on a military uniform.

In argentina not planning use Acu camo. Only police special force ( GE1) use ACU and the GEOF use Urban marpat

[JBass]

From Chile, here is the ACU of the Special Operations Brigade (BOE).

The Atacama desert in Chile, is the driest place on Earth!!!!

Ecuadorian Armed Forces, and El Salvador (National Police SWAT) are adapting digial camo uniform as well.

Regarding Argentina, the Kirchner administration due their close relations with the venezuelan Chaves regime, ordered the argentine army to stop using woodland cammies (they are so "american"), instead of that they are now using olive drab fatigues, next step will be the replacement of the FN FAL´s, M4´s, etc. for AK47 assault rifles rofl.

I find it hard to believe, considering that Venezuelan Army still uses American woodland camo and FN FALs...

[EIREGOBRACH]

I think maybe there is a grand plan or mass conspiracy theory out there to digitalize the entire planet...? Ha..ha! ;-) It is just like replacing the old analog tv with new digital tv technology! It seems Digital Camouflage is the future to go for ever military force!

Belive it my friend, "Porque no te callas" (Chavez) designed an olive drab called "El Patriota" and now the venzuelan army looks like a bunch of "barbudos" in Sierra Maestra, take a look to those links to see what "Porque no te callas" have done.

Is there any chance to get one of these Mexican Army desert uniforms?

[Rahlgd]

Is there any chance to get one of these Mexican Army desert uniforms?

Nope, they aren't sold to the public. When your service ends you still can't keep them and the military burns them because there has been issues with drug cartel members using Mexican military uniforms to carry out crimes with impunity and impersonating military and police officials. Possibly years from now when these uniforms have been replaced in Mexican service by some other type you may be able to get a hold of some but for now, no, it's impossible.
