Not Auscam?

The uniforms in the picture in the Bushmaster don't appear to be standard DPCU to me. They seem to have been adapted for middle eastern environments. Does anyone know anything about that? --Russell E (talk) 04:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Russell the picture in the Bushmaster shows two ADF members (on the right) wearing DPDU (Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform) as noted in the picture. It's the desert version of the standard DPCU. YEPPOON (talk) 07:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)YEPPOONYEPPOON (talk) 07:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

It is not "Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform" it is "Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform"

I know a previous section has stated a name change, however I know for fact and I am absolutely certain that it is Camouflage and not Combat. I am in the Australian Army Cadets and I have DPCU, and it is always referred to as Camouflage and not Combat.Here are some links supporting this: [1] also try this: [2] and this: [3] although these are not directly from the military websites (I have checked very thoroughly on both cadet and army sites) they are correct in claiming that the name is Disruptive pattern camouflage uniform, and not Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform.

Can we change the name of the article also, please? This is very misleading saying Combat and not Camouflage.

If needs be, i can provide further evidence to support this claim. I do have evidence on hards, but obviously I can't/ quote them. JTod94 (talk) 07:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, I can also confirm that this is the name in the RAN. Paragraph 4.26 of ABR 81, Uniform Instructions for the Royal Australian Navy states: "4.26Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform (DPCU) is a Defence uniform issued as exchangeable protective clothing for duties in the field..."--Searle, L. (talk) 12:36, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be any objection to the proposal that this page be moved to Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform: I'm going to give it a week to make sure nobody disagrees, then move it ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

@Dom Kaos: Well I agreed with the above so I have 'just' moved it back to that title, where I think it was about 7 years ago.
([4]-Yep!) This also means the lead text and page title now match! Supporting source [5] at www.army.gov.au. This was proposed over 4 years and 8 Months ago. Did someone forget about it??

Australian SAS soldiers in Afghanistan wearing MultiCam camouflage?

I refer you to the following Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_Pattern_Combat_Uniform#Mid-point_-_DPCU

It contains the following information:

"Currently SASR soldiers have been seen wearing "Multicam" uniforms in Afghanistan."

I would like to see websites illustrating photographic evidence of this. Thankyou.

Australian Special Forces do indeed use Multicam and have done so for some time as noted in the Multicam page. http://www.defence.gov.au/defencenews/stories/2010/Nov/1119.htm --YEPPOON (talk) 04:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
