AOR II Camouflage Effectiveness
Ойын-сауық
In this video we look at the effectiveness of the U.S. Navy’s AOR II camouflage pattern in a Woodland Environment during the summer time (North Texas woods). This video will consist of numerous scenes where each will begin with a concealed stationary position (both with & without the use of vegetation), followed by a movement phase out of the initial position. The purpose of this video is to give the viewer a chance to see the individual camouflage pattern and how it looks and blends into this environment. There will be varying degrees of how much of the uniform will be exposed to the viewer. Some scenes will only expose little more than perhaps a hat, while other scenes will have virtually no vegetation covering. If your interested in quality American made web gear in this pattern, please visit my good buddy John at UW Gear’s website: www.uwgearinc.com/
Thanks for watching!

It was designed for the seals albeit in combat cut rather than the uniform cut like this, and if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for your average sailor like me, and there is a reason the pattern is still dod restricted

agreed. MARPAT is good but its too dark, especially when wet. Multicam stands out a bit in certain wooded areas. This uniform blended in well.
The effectiveness of the pattern - better than Multicam? - and your hability to use it for concealment makes an excellent video. No wonder why the call you The Master Yoda of Camouflage! Respect from Argentina

To me these video's would be even more interesting if you gave some kind of commentary before, during or after the effectiveness test about how you like the pattern, your experience with it, the way it works, maybe some history... I just like hearing people share their thoughts on patterns so I might look at it another way. Things I wouldn't have come up with myself. Anyhow, thank you for making these camouflage series!
So glad they switched from the old NWU.

I don't think so. You are referring to CadPat right? That's a good bit darker though all the derivatives of it are similar. This however works exceptionally well except (no pun intended) when silhouetted in which nothing works and you are dead, dead, dead.

Actually it is better. Even in transitional (which is multicams best environment) aor2 beat it in objective testing done by guy cramer. So honestly why would you ever use multicam over aor2? Multicam might have a slight edge in desert it it still is far too dark anyway, with just about any desert camo beating it.

The NWU3 what is displayed here is desighned with and for navy special warfare but issued for all personel( Like how the army's acu is desighned for field use but issued to everyone) the AOR series of patterns AOR1 AOR2 and AOR universal were desighned for and tested for the army as one of the ucp replacement patterns, it didn't win the trial but the camo was used for the nwu also intended for naval special forces, they liked the patterns, recap naval special forces uniform printed in army camo.
Hyper effective in my opinion, very well done. Even when I spot you I'm left questioning whether it's you or not until you get up. Very good performance.
Excellent Video Brent as usual. I got my self the AOR2 cammo pattern, very effective in my sourounding areas!!!!

Well that pattern sure as hell works.
Another outstanding effort ! It looks like Mil Cam Pattern designers are finally seeing how vertical and slanted light in woodland environments is a real thing. Very effective and it seems to equally grab both the shadow and the light which allows the human figure to break up. In some ways, it's like turning original Tiger Stripe vertical and it becomes something totally different and effective. A side note about Vietnam Era Tiger Stripe is a special olive green dye that was used. I was told it was localized but if you research patterns and colors from this time and region, you might find the most perfect color of O.D. Green ever produced. I know that's a big statement but It did exist and was probably organic from locally blended materials. Modern synthetic chemical dyes pale in comparison.

Actually, objective tests were done at west point, and they determined a horizontal pattern performed 5-50% better than a vertical one. The only reason aor2 is vertical is because the marines got fussy because they didn't want people confusing marpat and aor2 so the navy rotated it.
I like this pattern this is very good camo in my Polish woodland :)
I recently received this and a set of AOR1 uniforms. Excellent addition to my already existing multi cam uniform. Glad to see this in action!

Great video again. I was thinking it would be cool if you and demolition ranch did a video .
My father used to be in the navy in the past, so I told him to come have a look at the most recent US Navy Uniform. He knew the previous one, the blue one and thought it was nice, but not, of course meant for combat. Now he sees half of this video and says: "Uniform or no uniform, this guy knows how to hide himself, even in a different time of day it would be tough to find him." He's right :D
I was issued this as a seabee. It is very effective. Good to see the fleey ditching the "blue berrie" and issuing the type 3 or aor2. And the type 2 is desert.
As always, great presentation GySgt Brent. Thumbs up from me : )

After wearing these camies for 4 years, I never thought they would be this effective. Comparing it to the marines in the field with my squad I'm now realizing that it wasn't a camo issue that I could always pick out my sailors, but just the fact that they sucked at hiding themselves.
