At long last, the U.S. Army has released the first images of its new Operational Camouflage Pattern, the replacement for the service's Universal Camouflage Pattern. Army Times was the first to post the new pics yesterday.
The service plans to print Army Combat Uniforms in the new pattern and make them available at at Military Clothing Sales Stores next summer.
OCP is also known as Scorpion W2, a revised version of the original Scorpion pattern that Crye Precision LLC developed for the Army's Future Force Warrior in 2002. Crye later made small adjustments to the pattern for better performance and trademark purposes and called it MultiCam.
The new OCP is very similar to MultiCam, the pattern the Army chose in 2010 for soldiers to wear in Afghanistan. Army officials maintain however that there are differences between the two patterns.
Stay tuned for future updates.
