Combat Uniform of the Australian Army
The combat unifrom of the Australian Army is the Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform, or DPCU. This is used by all branches of the Australian Defence Force. DPCU is designed to blend into the diverse natural terrain of Australia, including bushland, desert or tropical rainforest. Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform is also referred to as AUSCAM (AUStralian CAMouflage).
There are two versions of the DPCU uniform that are in use by the Australian Defence Force.
1) the standard-issue DPCU uniform which uses shades of green and is issued ADF-wide.
2) the desert DPCU uniforms which are issued to Australian personnel operating in desert environments. Desert DPCU has most recently been seen in use by personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform is similar in appearance to the tropical camouflage uniforms the United States Marine Corps used during World War II and the Korean War as well as the "duck hunter" camouflage pattern uniforms US Special Forces soldiers used during the early years of the Vietnam War.
The Defence Science and Technology Organisation is developing materials for use in combat uniforms which will reduce night-vision detection.
