I have a set of DCUs that I wore in Afghanistan 2003-04. 10th Mountain Division. And wore this pattern when I was at Sinai 2001, 25th ID. We didn’t get to keep those uniforms. 🇺🇸

This is my preferred uniform out of the ones I own

I've got a PASGT vest cover in this pattern. I paired it with my choco chip fatigues and ALICE gear for a Mid Nineties Area 51 Guard cosplay I did last year.

Choc chip vest cover is a bitch to find. Large.

Good video Mike. This is my favorite desert camouflage pattern as well.

As you may well know, UCP was the Army's attempt to create 1 pattern for all environments pattern, it was supposed to simplify logistics and cut costs. As far as the colors go, from what I've read the colors they used were chosen because they were what worked best under IR light/NVGs. Apparently, the concern of big Army at the time was fighting enemies using NVGs so they wanted a pattern that would work well when seen through NVGs, apparently not paying much attention to or caring how it worked during the day in sunlight.

Eh, not really. You're thinking of Cold War tech. UCP Was simply an attempt to look like a "21st century military".

It's worse than that. The original testing had four patterns: All-Over Brush, Track, Shadow Line and Scorpion. Basically a cooler DPM, two patterns that used the same base, but one's flipped to its side (and they used different black shapes) and the prototype MultiCam. They went three-four phases trying to zero in on a winning pattern and colorway (they started with four colors per pattern, except for Scorpion). At some point they decided to toss all of them and shat out UCP, a hideously bad colorway for the CADPAT/MARPAT and they tried to claim it was a digitalization of Urban Track, IIRC. So a few years ago they decided to try a fourth color in UCP, which clearly wasn't enough of a fix, so they just started authorizing the wear of MultiCam. The pattern the entire Army is transitioning to now... Is Scorpion W2, where they just fattened the black and cream shapes of the Scorpion.

@@Tounushi the UCP colorway was lifted from Urban Track pattern, which was also part of the test. The name Urban Track should have clued them in that it wasn't a universal color pallet, never was.

Thank you😺

Was given a DCU shirt & purchased a Dutch version trouser in this pattern, the pinkish tan surprised me, but light reflexion in that environment makes sense. And will fade a bit with washing The British had painted desert vehicles during WW2 similarly to good effect. I like better than DS chocolate chip

Great video. I had the UCP acu, a woodland vest, a dcu flc, and all kinds of colors and patterns of pouches. Really through my ocd into hyper drive.

Hello, brother. What can you say about your m65 dcu? I like this pattern so much and now is going to buy one. Don't know what is better, regular olive/green or dcu fabric for a m65. Thank you

I was always told my unit was the last unit to wear these in Afghanistan. 05-06, all other units we saw were wearing acu digital camo. I thought acu looked like shit in Afghanistan environment.

ACU is a cut of a uniform, not the camouflage pattern, UCP is the actual pattern. And yes, UCP is trash, see my many vids of me shitting on it.

UCP actually worked well with the northern mountainous parts of afghanistan where they had COP keating set up like nuristan province, Northern passage to pakistan aswell. anywhere else and its pretty much useless

I have two uniforms of this and a hat

Love this pattern whish they wouldv kept it

Can you talk about the Norwegian desert camo? Im pretty sure its official name is the m03 pattern. Its my 2nd favorite desert camo, next to chocolate chip.

Yeah, send me an example and I'll make a video. Obviously as you can see, I make videos on what I actually have available...............................

UCP really sucks I literally found one of my old helmet covers that was UCP and I burnt it.

since the universal pattern has been discontinued, it is possible that this pattern will return, or one very similar.

Now this one reminds me of generation kill
