TW CADPAT uniforms were being produced before 9/11; up untill than there was no rush to make AR CADPAT.
TW CADPAT was the only uniform available, so thats what they wore.

Duh - no shit Sherlock. You obviously didn't read my post carefully enough - I never said that they were. But even before 9/11 the Canadian Forces have been involved in loads of overseas Peacekeeping missions, and it doesn't take a genious to work out that there was a higher probability that the forces would be deployed in arid regions overseas on real-world missions before they'd be involved in such missions on Canadian soil. That was my only point. :hammer:

Don't be a rude cunt.
You brought up multicam an specam; an I gave the reason why we don't wear it.
Yes, Canada has been deployed a lot prior to 9/11. Still, we(like many others) made/issued TW/Woodland camo uniform first, since at the time that was the priority. Afghanistan made a demand to make desert uniforms ASAP.
When the USMC came out with MARPAT, the first uniform they made/issued was the woodland one, than sometime after that they made/issued the Desert MARPAT.
As I'm sure you know, even the Brits wore some woodland DPM uniforms in Afghanistan.
TW/Woodland camo worked well in parts of Afghanistan. And for our troops in the Former Yugoslavia. |
