Found this, dont know if it has been posted, sorry if it has.
ACU (army combat uniform) is the uniform model.
UCP (universal camouflage pattern) is what is printed on it.

Too mcuh of a habit since I wear ACUs almost everyday, calling it UCP is just too hard for my thick skull, but I will try.
sorry... i don't get it. you're american and you wear acus everyday. i thought you're in the french army or something...
It would have been, but in pre-test trials it was beat out by the Bunny suit.
I have yet to hear anybody in the Army call the pattern UCP. It might officially have that as its name, but ACU is what everybody calls it.
What launcher is that? Looks like a recoilless 90mm.Here are some pics of the new Philippine Marines BDA (Battle Dress Attire) on Parade during the AFP (Armed Forces of the Phils.) day
----JT----
It is. The Army doesn't have a stockpile of anti-tank missile launchers. Those RRs are provided thankfully from Uncle Sam ever since the Korean War.
Model of the uniform is Dragon Tactical. There are several color variations.
Green one is digitized 5 color m-03.

This brown still have no official name out there, but looks like digitized Serbian Brown Lizard/Tiger that was used by Serbian police in the 90's and by the VRS.
And there are several other versions, for urban or desert-

I saw on Soldier Systems today that Austria is getting new camo...anyone have better pictures?http://soldiersystems.net/2009/05/28/new-austrian-camo/
New digital camo scheme was displayed at the Austrian Future Soldier 2008 exhibition in Oct 2008. It has two varients. For better pics, please refer to http://www.altair.com.pl/start-1892
thanks Shocker...
Now anyone got any more information on AOR 1 and 2 than I already have and seen in the specific thread?
No man, the bunny rocks! Best camo evah
I agree, nice cam, and I hope we never ditch our DPM (although I know our desert cam is being revamped with a 3rd colour for PECOC).I hope we never change our camo into digital pattern. Must keep this one.
Its a beauty, isnt it?
I also hope the French and Irish don't ditch their cams, CCE is fine looking (I've a French Army bivvybag with that on, but think they are changing their patterns for FELIN) and the Irish 'paddy-flage' is similar - good to notice the IDF members wearing it in public in Dublin.
As for countries which don't need to change - Germany and Danmark. Flecktarn is so like digital it may as well be digital, noones going to notice any difference at more than 10m away. It is the forerunner of digital in my mind.
I know that digital is meant to be the future etc, but all troops are going to look very similar in 5-10yrs time with all the green and brown digi patterns you won't be able to tell between them. Naturally distinguishing the troops of one country from another (apart from signature kit like rifles) will get increasingly hard. And 'character' will suffer. Besides, DPM works and looks the business too
The French are changing... the blouse will be different and they won't be wearing a belt from what I've seen but the pictures were limited.
