The uniform of the British Army is to be changed for the first time in almost 40 years.

The new Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) will replace the traditional four colour woodland uniform known as No.8: Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM).

.....
BBC News - British Army to get new camouflage uniform
....The design is derived from a camouflage called MultiCam, which was developed by an American company, Crye Precision, in association with the US Army. However, it was not ultimately adopted by Washington for its main uniform, although some units may still use it in the future. It is now available commercially and is used by sports gunmen.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has paid the US company an undisclosed sum for use of the new design and has secured intellectual property rights over the MTP camouflage to prevent others from using it without permission. ....

It's a great pattern.  Like I've been saying.  MC is a great camo.  I like the British take on it.
You name a game, I've been to it.

If I've banned you, then you have more than likely deserved it.

If I deleted a post it didn't need to be there or I simply didn't like it.

Pretty soon every major military will adopt some variant of MC, because it works so well, and wars will cease entirely due to no one ever being seen.

Hurray.

This is great news for the British.  The sad part is that they will be made in a foreign country. :(
