Direct Action Introduces MultiCam Tropic – Adapt. Blend. Overcome.
Friday, November 14th, 2025Responding to direct demand from special operations operators, Direct Action® is introducing the MultiCam® Tropic camouflage pattern into its product lineup – a solution engineered for operations in green-dominant environments.
A carefully selected range of 58 products will be available in this colorway, with most already accessible in the online store and the B2B panel.
MultiCam® Tropic is one of the variants of the iconic MultiCam® camouflage family. Designed by Crye Precision and first unveiled in 2013, it delivers high concealment effectiveness in tropical regions, jungles, and European deciduous and mixed forests during spring and summer. Its palette of deep greens and earth browns enables operators to blend seamlessly into their surroundings — from dark forest undergrowth to diffused light on open clearings.
The introduction of MultiCam® Tropic is a direct response to the needs of special operations units requiring configurations optimized for dense vegetation. All new variants remain fully compatible with existing Direct Action systems and the Individual-as-a-System philosophy.
MultiCam® Tropic is effective in:
• European forests (spring/summer)
• Tropical forests and jungle environments
• Humid terrain, river valleys, thick brush, and wetlands
You will also be able to see the MultiCam® Tropic products and sample loadout configurations live during the Milipoltrade show in Paris. We invite all interested visitors to stop by booth 5 F 033 between 18–21 November, 2025.
The MultiCam® Tropic line will ultimately include 58 products, such as:
• Plate carriers: Spitfire, Bearcat, and the upcoming Spitfire QR Plate Carrier
• A wide range of pouches, pockets, front flaps, back panels, cummerbunds, and IFAKs
• Tactical belts and sleeves

Air Force Chief of Staff Approves Morale T-Shirts and Callsigns On Aircrew Nametags
Thursday, November 13th, 2025In a memorandum issued Monday, Gen Kenneth Wilsbach authorized the return of colored Morale T-Shirt for wear with utility uniforms on Fridays (at the discretion of the commander). Tied to unit heritage and esprit, this has been an on-again-off-again tradition over the years, based on who was in charge at the time. I’m glad to see it. Hopefully Airmen will get a few more opportunities to show off their unit pride.
Although it doesn’t affect as many, the memo also authorizes Airmen who wear the Flight Duty Uniform to use their callsign and last name on their aircrew nametag.
