Weekend's Photos - January 09 / 10, 2010

Regardless of the procedure for testing uniforms, I think that it doesn't say much for the structure of the US forces when just the Army alone is wearing three different pattern and color uniforms

Are you counting the Class A's as one of the three uniforms? Cause of course you're gonna have a dress uniform, and a work uniform.

I understand they talk about camo patterns?

Excellent photos this weekend gents!



The USAF has 3, USMC has 2, the USN has all of those plus 3 of it's own.

The USMC and other branches all seem to wear the same uniform on operations though. I believe that the Navy and Air Force wear different ones as there is not a widespread distribution of the ABU's and NWU's, but then there is the whole factor of their respective SOF wearing what ever they want. It just seems weird that the Army is operating in ACU's, Multicam, and ACP (I believe that is the name of the ACU pattern with the brown added in), while they are all in the same AO.

ACU(Army Combat Uniform) is not a camouflage pattern. It is the cut/design of the uniform. UCP (universal Camouflage Pattern) and UCP-Delta(UCP with Cyote Brown added it) are camouflage patterns.

And what a piece of crap that is

Dunno, its small, robust and if you have a good loader it does the job. The blank speedloader on the other hand works perfect, so i'm guessing it would do almost the same on live ammo.

A British journalist has been killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said. Sunday Mirror defence correspondent Rupert Hamer, 39, was embedded with the US Marine Corps when his vehicle was hit by a bomb near Nawa in Helmand. The father-of-three's Mirror colleague, photographer Philip Coburn, 43, is in a serious but stable condition. A US Marine and an Afghan soldier were also killed in the blast on Saturday. Four US Marines were seriously injured.

Nope

Canadian Military salutes with the palm down.

The South African National Defence Force too.

In most Commonwealth countries (including Britain) the army and air force salute palm-out while the navy salutes palm down.

love the BDU pattern... simple but effective... not succumbing to the digital fad a lot of armies seem to be following
