В некоторых австралийских магазинах она всё ещё встречается в продаже с формулировкой "issue", но таковой она уже давно не является ;)


В сервисе с 2006 находится форма следующего кроя.

Multicam

После положительных результатов обкатки австалийским SOTG в Афганистане в 2010году, ADF приняло решение о использовании Crye Precision multicam (Field Apparel, Combat Apparel) так же и пехотными подразделениями c 2011 года.

Defence вел переговоры с Crye Precision о получение лицензии на производство МС в Австралии.
Multicam в командировках ADF "засветился" пока что только в Афганистане.
И в конце 2012 солдаты 7rar были отправлены в Афган в мультикаме "австралийского образца.

How To Know If It’s Genuine Australian MultiCam Pattern

How can you tell if it’s genuine Australian MultiCam Pattern? Why by branding of course! In these photos taken during this week’s Land Warfare Conference currently being held in Melbourne, Australia, you can see the ADF Tri-Service Crest on AMP.



AMP was developed by Crye Precision specifically for the Australian Defence Force to provide a distinct version of MultiCam in similar fashion to the Multi Terrain Pattern for the UK MoD.


Now, if you look very closely you can actually see that what makes this version of MultiCam “Australian” is the way that Crye have changed the chocolate-brown and pale-sand colored shapes to resemble the famous “jelly beans” and “bunny ears” shapes from the current Australian Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform.


Minister for Defence Materiel – Australian made “MultiCam” uniforms on their way to Afghanistan
22 October 2012
Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare today announced that local production of the ‘MultiCam” combat uniform worn by our troops in Afghanistan is now underway and the first troops to wear this new uniform will deploy in the next few weeks.

The new uniforms have been issued to soldiers from 7RAR in Adelaide and RAAF Airfield Defence Guards who will deploy to Afghanistan in the near future.

In November 2010 the Chief of Army ordered that Australian troops operating ‘outside the wire’ in Afghanistan were to wear the MultiCam combat uniform.

Versions of the MultiCam combat uniform are worn by US, British and Australian troops in Afghanistan. It provides a greater level of concealment across the range of terrains in Afghanistan – urban, desert and green.

The uniforms have:

Integrated elbow and knee pads to reduce soft tissue injuries;
Shirts which are cooler and designed to be worn under body armour;
Trousers with a padded waist band to make them more comfortable under webbing or a field pack; and
Trousers with more pockets and a stretch fabric at the joints for ease of movement.
To get the uniforms to Australian troops quickly, they were originally purchased from the US manufacturer Crye Precision.

Last year Defence purchased a license from Crye Precision to manufacture this uniform in Australia. Crye Precision was also engaged to develop our own unique version of the MultiCam camouflage pattern.

Three options for an ‘Australianised’ MultiCam pattern were developed, each with equivalent performance to the US MultiCam. Based on initial feedback from soldiers, the preferred design underwent testing in a range of environments and terrains prior to final selection.

The new uniform is produced by Pacific Brands WorkWear Group in West Footscray. The camouflage fabric is produced by Bruck Textiles in Wangaratta.

Approximately 3,600 sets of the new Australian MultiCam uniforms have been ordered. The value of this work is approximately $780,000. A further 5,500 uniforms will be ordered later this year to equip soldiers deploying next year.

“This is the best uniform for the work we do in Afghanistan. It provides better concealment and makes it easier for our soldiers to do their job.” Mr Clare said.

“The feedback I have received from troops has been very positive. They have told me this is the uniform they want, and Australian industry has delivered.”

Several changes have been made to the original US design, based on feedback from Australian troops in Afghanistan.

This includes stronger fabric and modifications to a number of pockets and other parts of the uniform to improve functionality and durability.
