British DPM OPFOR CAMO
Share
Around 2015 the British Army unit operating in OpFor roles for large units on exercise on Salisbury Plain started wearing Blue Disruptive Pattern Material.
The predominantly blue/grey shades of the new OpFor uniform offered a complete contrast to the earthy and slightly verdant colors of MTP, so they were a logical choice to dress ‘enemy’ in for for rural settings. However even though these ‘Men In Blue’ usually stood out against green or dried foliage like the proverbial turd on a billiard table, in a gloomy urban setting their camouflage could work in their favor. Indeed this blue version of DPM, though originally produced as a naval camo, has been quite widely adopted internationally as a police and gendarmerie camouflage pattern for urban use.
