Here’s a nice in-theater pic of six members of the nine-man team that was formed to help evaluate alternative camouflage patterns for soldiers in Afghanistan. The team spent 17 days in-country, taking photos of AOR II, the current Universal Camouflage Pattern, Multicam, Desert Brush, UCP-Delta and Mirage.
They went outside of the wire every day, provided their own security and even came under enemy fire on one occasion.
The mission produced more than 1,000 photos that will be used to create a photosimulation test that hundreds of soldiers will take this month. The effort could result in a new pattern for Afghanistan by late January.
