I believe the guy on the right is USAF CCT and the others are Special Forces. What are the camos? |

Guy on left is wearing Crye Precision Multicam, guy on right 3-colour desert with multicam pack |

Yea, it's the more subdued scheme, which followed the "chocolate chip" scheme (can't recall the real term for it, that was the earliest, modern desert scheme). The markings on the one shown above are quite faint. |

The desert one was officially just called "Desert Camouflage Uniform" (DCU). Apparently also referred to as "coffee stain", but I don't know if that's genuine or not. Could be, considering the predecessor 6-colour "Desert Battle Dress Uniform" (DBDU) was also known as "chocolate chip"… |

I wore DCUs, and never heard any nicknames. US Navy Unifirm Regs called them Comabt Camouflage, Tan. |

OBTW, I noticed that they have extra pockets on the arms. At Fort Bragg, we took pockets from worn out DCUs, and had them sewn on the the upper sleeves (like ACUs). |
