desert night camo

[1775]

Does anybody know what ever happened to the desert night camo(the green checkered pattern) ? Was it determined it did not work and phased out? Just curious, thanks.

I understand that the new cammies (3 color) were deemed more effective. heck, IIRC, overwhites were more effective under NV in the sandbox. The desert night pattern was supposed to interfere with the image renderer, or something, and it just worked better to blend.

The nes tri color DCU's ae supposed to be better at night and don't require the night time pattern anymore.

It seemed to me that the night desert bdu's had a really dark IR signature compared to the 3 colors neutral IR signature which blended in much better, as far as over whites you look like casper the friendly ghost on night vision with those.Thats why we dont wear out desert smocks at night.

They sure were warm with the liner buttoned in, though...
