Soldiers of the Royal Canadian Dragoons Battle Group in the village of Vrhpolje, Bosnia, search for illegal weapons and munitions January 5, 2004. Here, Warrant Officer Ken Pichie chats with a local woman requesting that her home be searched. Operations like these are done in cooperation with the local police in villages often suggested by the police themselves. The troops go door to door asking if the occupants have anything they'd like to get rid of - and then they ask if the occupant would mind if the troops search the home. Most Bosnians have become used to this and understand that ridding the country of illegal munitions makes everyone safer. As members of NATO's Stabilization Force, the Canadians can forcibly enter abandoned buildings and they often do - the only requirement is to ensure that the building is left locked and secure when they leave. Nearly 1200 Canadians are serving on Op Palladium until March, 2004, when the last Canadian Battle Group to serve in the Balkans will be replaced by a reinforced squadron.

Maybe CADPATS fade (as every fabric? :) ), but look how strong is shadow under this man's hat - I think he is just strongly lightened.

The first runs of the CADPAT clothing were done with an inferior dye. They faded quite easily, and often were almost white after a few months of normal use. The process and Dye were changed, and now they are much better. The unlucky sods who were on the first issue lists (Primarily the Combat arms types deployed outside of Canada) kind of got the shaft, and have since had to have almost all of their clothing replaced.
