The 4 Kinds of American Military Clothes



1 . ACU
  • The army combat uniform (ACU) is the U.S. army's current combat apparel, replacing the original combat uniform (BDU) and desert camouflage (DCU).
  •  It has a big change in design, camouflage patterns are different from before.The new military camouflage pattern used by the ACU, known as the universal camouflage pattern (UCP), is a blend of green, tan and gray that works well in desert and urban environments.
  •  ACU fabrics minimize infrared visibility.

ACU jackets use Velcro fasteners to secure badges, rank badges, and identification badges, such as flags and infrared badges. Nir signal management technology was applied to the ACU to minimize the infrared contour of the wearer. Permanent infrared friend or foe tags are sewn on both shoulders to help friends identify at night with night vision. When the identification mark is not in use, it can be protected with Velcro fastener.


2. MCCUU
  • The MCCUU is the combat uniform currently used by the U.S. Marine corps. 
  • It is also used by U.S. navy rangers and U.S. navy chaplains assigned to the marines. 
  • The garment was tested in 2001, fitted out in 2002 and completed in 2004. It replaces the BDU, formerly used by the army, navy and air force.
  • The MCCUU suit and its MARPAT pattern are proprietary and not widely available in the civilian market. MARPAT has two designs, forest and desert. For a closer look, MARPAT also mixes eagle, earth and anchor.
  • The MCCUU has different ways of wearing it depending on the environment and the season. Unlike the BDU, the MCCUU was designed to wear body armor at the same time.
3. NWU

  • The NWU is the navy's newest uniform, replacing the common uniform worn by soldiers and washablekhakis worn by officers, winter blue overalls, and other lightly used tropical equivalents. 
  • Based on the Marine corps MCCUU combat suit, the NWU USES long, thick twill fabrics that don't require ironing. Clothes and pants with multiple pockets, top 4, pants 6. Its multicolor digital camouflage pattern is similar to those of other services.
  • The all-blue collar reflects the navy's tradition and connection to the sea. Although there is no need to disguise the wearer, NWU chose a color pattern similar to that of U.S. navy ships, so that deck personnel are not obvious targets when ships are moored in ports where enemy infiltration is possible.
  • And digital camouflage can also be used to hide the inevitable wear and tear and stains on the ship.
  • Military fabric is nylon and cotton blend, 50% each. The purpose of using this fabric is to make NWU wear more crisp, reduce the movement obstacles on the ship, avoid scratches, and extend the service life.

4.ABU
ABU is the air force's newest full-service uniform, which was fully distributed by 2011.
ABU is similar in color to the army's ACU, with a bit of blue, but closer to the color of the replaced BDU. Matching boots for maintenance free green goatskin combat boots, black desert boots can be worn during the transition period. Other accessories such as backpacks and gloves are also green. ABU had none of the tilting pockets, cuff pockets, Velcro fasteners and the like found on army ACU. ABU, however, has basic near-infrared properties.

L4G24 Fast Helmet NVG Mount (TAN) Devgru Aor1/Aor2 Night Vision Device Tactical Helmet Bracket

图片
One of the quickest ways to become ineffective at airsoft night operations is purchasing gear that doesn’t hold up to stressful situations. Sometimes purchasing Chinese Knockoffs (ACM) gear works for uniform and soft goods, but when it comes to night vision applications, never skimp. The L4G24 is an upgrade from the L4G11. Not just in functionality, but your NOD will feel a lot more sturdy on this system. The difference between the G24 and the G11 is that it uses a ‘dovetail’ mounting system. This requires you to purchase a different arm as it’s NOT compatible with a standard bayonet J-Arm.  The G24 has a little bit different operation compared to the G11. Instead of using force to bring your NOD down, there is a button on the side you press, and the whole arm swings down and clicks in. The addition of a Wilcox PVS-14 Arm brings this setup into a whole new level of stability.  It feels overwhelming solid compared to even the G11 with the standard J-Arm. I’ve heard some ...

The L4 G24 Breakaway Lever Mount is designed to interface with various bracket-style NVG Shrouds. It allows the operator to attach an AN/PVS-7A or 7C night vision goggle to a helmet-mounted Ops-Core VAS Shroud, Standard US Army 1-Hole Shroud, or even a Norotos Universal Shroud.                                                                              https://www.somogear.com/ The L4 G24 is one of the most universal mounts in the Wilcox line because it does not require a proprietary shroud. It does, however, retain the sought-after breakaway feature found on other Wilcox models. The breakaway feature allows the operator to preset the mount for a secure lock with the shroud or to allow it to break away under stress so as to prevent injury. Activities that could cause entanglement such as...

M416 Assault Rifle

图片
Hello, guys. Today my blog adds some new contents. And I would introduce the assault rifle- M416. In fact, I like to explore the rifle no matter what type of it.  The Heckler & Koch HK416   more commonly known as the M416 is an improved variation of the Colt M4 and M16 assault rifles.  The 416 features a longer part lifespan, a more reliable gas-stroke piston system, and the ability to interchange many standard M4/M16 parts into the weapon such as magazines, optics, and stocks.  The 416 is in service with multiple countries as well as several factions.  Heckler & Koch unveiled the HK416 automatic rifle family in 2005 as a potential replacement for the M4 family series of carbines. The HK416 was a joint effort by the United States and Germany to produce a more reliable and modern alternative to the M4 Carbine. Development began in 2004 and Delta Force, the special ops group under the US Army banner, was the first to take deliveries of the weapon - ...
