"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.Comment

On the subject. DFCCS went to tender today and ITMP was concurrently Officially released to the DF as our new Camo Pattern on the DF Connect App.
Regarding DFCCS. They are going with a new Approach to tendering. Instead of drawing up the technical specs of the new kit themselves they have given an outline of requirements across a range of environments and asked tenderers to come up with proposals for a system. The system must include base layers, a Uniform layer, Insulation Layers and a Shell Layer. Oh and it's gender specific. No more Unisex kit. Woohoo"Let us be clear about three facts.

So it's going to be the Single Camo Concept. The naval aquaflage vanity project was short-lived.Comment

As soon as the article went up on the Connect app the NS were asking if they were included.Originally posted by Rhodes View Post
After they did a solo run because they didn't want to wear HonkyCAM.
The words "Fcuk off you made your bed now lay in it" come to mind."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.

To be fair "Honkey Cam" wasn't exactly fit for their purpose either, and what they had was basically the old DF O/G Working dress, just in Navy. They recently made slight changes to the new pattern uniform, but they'll still need to wear whatever the Army wear if they are based overseas, on land.Originally posted by apod View Post
Maybe if Soldier 2024 hadn't been delayed as long as it has, they might not have gone down the "aquaflage" route at all.
But even you should be able to see there is little point in the Navy, or the Air Corps for that matter, wearing an army uniform for their day to day duties. Specially one designed to blend in with foliage.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.Comment
