This is the US Army's new Operational Camouflage Pattern OCP) also known as Scorpion W2. This new pattern will replace the Army's MultiCam® Pattern as the official combat uniform pattern for most US Soldiers.
The new OCP is a single camouflage pattern designed to help the wearer hide in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. It was designed to address the real-world need for concealment in different environments, with one basic kit of gear. It is designed to work well across a very broad range of environmental conditions when observed in both the visual and near infrared (NIR) spectrums.
Made in the USA to mil-spec DTL-32489B, Type 3, Class 3, Style H
As similar as these two patterns are, it can be easy to tell the difference when you know what to look for.
MultiCam® will have some linear strokes in the pattern. Notice the yellow circled areas in the bottom-half of the picture. There are several more throughout this print as you will see. The most telling feature is the large V that can be seen towards the bottom-left.Now look at the top print, the OCP. It is almost identical to the MultiCam® in color and design, except you will not find a single linear stroke.
