New camouflage for Brit troops in Afghanistan
British troops serving in Afghanistan have been issued with a new-look camouflage - the first pattern change of its kind for more than 40 years, the Ministry of Defence said today. The new "Multi Terrain Pattern" camouflage was designed to be worn across the different terrain encountered by frontline troops on patrol in Helmand Province.Troops deployed to the war-torn country in April, including members of the Royal Dragoon Guards, were the first to be issued with the new uniform. It will be issued to all military personnel by 2012 as the existing Woodland and Desert camouflage are phased out. Posted by: Steve White 2010-05-21 |
