Wearing IR-DPM overseas in arid areas has been a policy decision. It's wanted that troops stick out like sore thumbs to avoid contacts and the poor PR of troops in contact overseas. Although noticeable that the ARW went off to play with the Germans in Mali and for Kabul were having none of it.

We'll probably go with green electrical tape for IFF. Millions spent designing multicam variants and now every army looks identical from a distance.....Ukraine conflict boils it down to blue/yellow or white electrical tape for IFF.

Policy decision my arse.That’s DoD spin for not wanting to fund the Desert kit for Chad.ARW had war with the Beancounters prior to Chad after being told they were getting the Dessie’s and the plug being pulled last minute.Total spin.
