It is time for some much-needed change for the UK Army as they have a brand new camouflage uniform – in fact, the first in almost 40 years, where the new pattern is known as the Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) which will see out the traditional four colour woodland uniform that has long been known as No.8: Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM).Those serving in Afghanistan will be able to obtain the new uniforms in March next year, with the entire army to follow by the time 2011 rolls around. The MTP was specially designed for a wide range of environments, where these will also include the volatile “green zone” of Helmand province. All this is still very far from the ideal ‘invisibility cloak’, but at least it is a start.
