This a opinion coming from a former 11V that obviously would know a think or two about tactical application of camouflage in a battlefield environment (versus other branches of the service that wear their uniforms to look pretty in the office). If you are so blind that you cannot tell the applicability of mirage in current operations in the middle east, then that is not my problem. My hopes are that US forces get equipped with the best and most feasible camouflage for the job at hand. Don't accuse me of being a sales rep for bulldog because i think that mirage obviously works better that that dismantled your little gucci-flage obsession. hey robert, no i don’t work for bulldog.

Do you work for Bulldog? If you do, it's not professional to go on the threads of competitors and bash their camo. Just a tip. Please do not get upset and sore about it.

You are supposed to be camouflaged in relation to 100-300 meters from enemy eyes. Civilian camouflage is only effective in a small area while military camo is supposed to be more general purpose. another example of mirage http://strikehold.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/mirage-camo-up-close-and-in-the-field/ people don’t understand the purpose of camouflage. its not to make you invisible while you are still, like the plethora of civilian hunting camouflage. military camo is to increase the time it takes for the enemy to sight you in and engage you while you are moving.

I'd like to see it used in the theathers we are fighting in and have pics demonstrating the effectiveness. Definitely not a fan of UCP, unless we are fighting in a concrete factory.

All other designs have distinct color separations (i.e., woodland and digital). Multicam comes in 2nd, but the colors are distinct. I can pick up on the dark brown spots. This A-TACS pattern has no uniformity or 90 degree lines. There's some 3-D depth to it. I give it 5 Stars. I think this is the best camo design to date.

It could be that they took the picture in Alabama and just dropped in a standard 'Iraqi-stan' background to make it look more military... ...or they could have altered the colours of the surrounding rubble so it blends better with the camo. I wish I could get more excited, but until they start making the 'Predator' suit, I'll reserve judgement on it's effectiveness. Hmm, the above picture of the soldier looks highly Photoshopped.

The marines have highly satisfied with the MPAT. The Army is the only service looking for a new camo. The ACU sticks out in any inviromet besides a brick wall. The pattern the army is testing and will adopt will be a mdoifed ACU with more OD and tan in the pattern. The multicam is a backup the Army is also looking at. Nice ad pic with the Remington ACR though. I doubt the Army or marines will go for a new camo. The marines have highly satisfied with the MPAT. The Army is the only service looking for a new camo.
