Hiding in Plain Sight – AOR Camouflage *Updated
Thursday, January 7th, 2010One of our readers sent us this screen shot from History Channel’s “Modern Marvels” of the Navy’s new “Type III” or AOR 2 woodland camouflage pattern being compared to Woodland MARPAT. As you can see it is a lighter pattern with much less brown.

But wait, it turns out there is more to this story. The video that this picture was captured from was shot in 2002! It turns out that this color scheme was actually an early variant of Woodland MARPAT.
The entire video is excellent but the relevant part starts at about 5:30.
PRC-117G Assault Bag from Mayflower
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Somehow this baby slipped below our RADAR but it is definitely worth taking a look at if you are fortunate enough to be issued the Harris AN/PRC-117G but are saddled with the issue bag. It is designed to be worn with the removable shoulder straps or attached directly to the back of armor or load bearing vest with the integrated PALS compatible attachment system. Additionally, the body features PALS webbing so that radio accessories can be attached to the bag.
The PRC-117G Assault Bag is available in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, UCP, and MultiCam from Mayflower.
