During its civil war this became an issue as forces on both sides began wearing them which inevitably led the government to put measures in place to differ their troops from the opposing side. One of those mea...

    Another MARPAT inspired camo is the one developed for the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. It came out sometime in the mid 2000s and colour and pattern wise, it's practically indistinguishable from MARPAT (sans EGAs, of course). It never really caught on so they still continue to use the OG uniforms.

      ROKPAT is a small cutout tile of CADPAT/MARPAT (you can see how often it repeats on the back of jackets). It's colored similarly to MARPAT, but with a lighter base and the green and black reversed.

    @fridrekr7510 2 дні тому

    Russia also used MARPAT, made by SRVV and Emerson, but it was more on an individual basis and they've used nearly every pattern at some point, so it's not that spectacular. It was both seen with FSB and SSO special forces in Russia and Syria, and in some random instances by regular troops in Ukraine too.

    Brazilian BOPE, from Rio, made famous by the Elite Squad movie, has adopted a clone of MARPAT too, since 2012-2014. There are a number of variants, some looking very close to the USMC version, some very different. Suggest people interested in looking into that.

      @@BassFlapper it's curious too because before that, BOPE standard camouflage/uniform was black, which is well known for not being a good camouflage and being specially hot in warmer climates, which was the case. It was mostly adopted because of the psychological aspect of a police force wearing an all black uniform. But then they adopted MARPAT for actual practicality.
