In the two US/Iraqi Gulf Wars, what type of uniform would most Iraqi Republican Guard troops be (OD, Camo or Khaki) in? Also, would thier armor be green, camo or sand colored? I am looking to paint up some 12mm RG units (either from al-Medina, Nebuchadnezzar or Hammurabi Divisions) and not certain what these guys should look like. Thanks! |

In the 1991 war, one division (Hammurabi, I think; the 5th?) was largely outfitted in "surplus" British army desert camo uniforms, which explained why large elements of our forces had to wear DPM until more could be produced
. Could add some potential confusion to your games
. ;-) Dom. PS – Not sure on armour, but most of what I've seen has been sand coloured. |

Reprimo's video is pretty spot on. Dark green uniforms and sand colored helmets. Armor was light sand colored, at least the tanks and BMPs I saw. |

Been a while since you asked the question, but from my understanding, by 1991 most Republican Guard Units where issued one of a multitude of camouflage uniforms. By 2003, due to sanctions and the wear and tear of those they had, most Iraqi units where issued a locally made green or tan uniform. I saw warehouses full of these and have a sample of both the green and tan shirts, as well as a brand new out of the packet green uniform. Tanks and APCs were usually painted with a sand color which wears off quite quickly revealing the original Soviet green underneath. Hope to see pics of your stuff. Working on some more myself. |
