One 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.
