Universal Camouflage Pattern

{{Main|U.S. Army universal camouflage trials}}

In May 2001 to June 2004, the United States Army's Universal Camouflage For The Future Warrior trials were a uniform camouflage enhancement program, to at first make environment-specific patterns, to then later make a pattern that would mask the wearer in all environments. The disadvantage of an all-in-one pattern is that it has to account for too many factors at once, such as amount of visual clutter{{Cite web |last=Ramsley |first=Alvin O. |date=July 1979 |title=Camouflage Patterns - Effects of Size and Color |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADC020935.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103000000/https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADC020935.pdf |archive-date=3 November 2015 |access-date=25 December 2024 |page=15 |via=Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)}} [https://archive.org/details/DTIC_ADC020935 Alt URL] (disruptiveness–Woodland dark and high contrast, dense foliage branches,{{Cite web |last=Biberdorf |first=Curt |date=November 2002 |title=Better Blend - Camouflage patterns for future uniforms undergo evaluation |url=http://www.natick.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/02/novdec/conceal.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030422205311/http://www.natick.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/02/novdec/conceal.htm |archive-date=22 April 2003 |access-date=31 July 2024 |website=SBCCOM Website Blue |type=The Warrior Magazine}}{{Cite web |last=Biberdorf |first=Curt |date=November 2002 |title=Better Blend - Camouflage patterns for future uniforms undergo evaluation |url=http://www.ssc.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/02/novdec/novdec.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040119133331/http://www.ssc.army.mil/about/pao/pubs/warrior/02/novdec/novdec.pdf |archive-date=19 January 2004 |archive-format=PDF |access-date=2 August 2024 |website=SBCCOM Website Blue |type=The Warrior Magazine}} Desert sparse, bright and low contrast terrain and Urban close-range geometric straight-edge terrain of buildings and houses{{Cite web |date=May 1996 |title=Urban Camouflage |url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/1996/warrior_96_may_camo.htm |url-status= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110211012751/https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/1996/warrior_96_may_camo.htm |archive-date=11 February 2011 |access-date=29 August 2024 |website=The Warrior Magazine |publisher=NSC Public Affairs Office |type=-!-) (Webarchive = Less Ads) (-!- |via=Global Security Website}}), and at nighttime specifically, high reflectance variation when viewed through night vision devices (Woodland environment's leaves extremely high reflectance versus Desert's grains of sand and rocks' lower reflectance).{{Cite web |last=Cramer |first=Guy |date=11 June 2013 |title=Why US4CES? |url=https://www.hyperstealth.com/US4CES-ALPHA/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622061125/https://www.hyperstealth.com/US4CES-ALPHA/index.html |archive-date=22 June 2013 |access-date=27 December 2024 |website=www.hyperstealth.com |at=(See Spectral Varieties Over Land data chart nearly half way through the article)}}

In 2002, three patterns were developed, called All-Over Brush, Track, and Shadowline. For each pattern, there were four color combinations, which corresponded to a specific type of terrain, however, all four patterns used tan as their base color.

There were 15 evaluations total, which took place at locations across the contiguous United States.

In late 2002, the camouflage patterns were rated on their blending, brightness, contrast, and detection by U.S. Army soldiers, during the daytime, and also at night using Near-Infrared (NIR) night vision devices. During Phase I of testing, only daytime evaluations were conducted. Due to the more time efficient and cost-effective method of printing via inkjet sprayers, colors of the patterns were adjusted to how they would be viewed when under NIR conditions.{{efn|"From Phase I to II, inkjets were printed to incorporate NIR attributes." - (dugas.ppt slide 16 in speaker notes)|name=}} Inkjet reactive and acid dyes{{Cite web |date=30 July 2004 |title=Facility sifts out camouflage design duds |url=http://www.ssc.army.mil/about/pao/2004/04-32.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041016041543/http://www.ssc.army.mil/about/pao/2004/04-32.htm |archive-date=16 October 2004 |access-date=2 August 2024 |website=Soldier Systems Center (SSC) Website Yellow |place=NATICK, Mass |type=Press Release - CEF Tour}} are not NIR compliant. For the remainder of the phases, production printing with regular dyes and mechanical rollers were used. Scorpion (Unmodified) was included in Phase I of the trials.{{efn|"“Crye” (Scorpion) is the camouflage intended for all environments that... was included in evaluations." - ln 54-56 of Better blend (The Warrior article) website archive, not PDF, Nov 2002 (before start of early 2003 tests)

Following testing, the Shadowline pattern was eliminated, along with the urban and desert-urban colorways of All-Over Brush. All four of the Track patterns were accepted along with All-Over Brush's woodland and desert colorways.

Phase II's near-infrared nighttime testing determined that black, medium gray, and medium tan were the only colors that gave acceptable performance.{{efn|(dugas.ppt slide 16)|name=}}

In 2004, all four remaining patterns, Desert Brush, Woodland Track Mod, Scorpion Mod, and Urban Track were then tested alongside each other in two sets of evaluations in woodland, desert, and urban environments. Full Future Force Warrior ensembles were fabricated for testing.

The Desert Brush design received the best overall mean daytime visual rating. The Contractor-Developed Mod pattern received highest rating in woodland environments, but low ratings in desert and urban environments. Urban Track was generally the 3rd or 4th worst performer at each site, but was the best performer in nighttime environments. Infrared testing showed negligible differences in the performance of the four patterns. Natick rated the patterns from best to worst as: Desert Brush, Woodland Track Mod, Contractor-Developed Mod (Scorpion), and Urban Track.

The color scheme of the UCP is composed of tan, gray, and sage green (officially named Desert Sand 500, Urban Gray 501, and Foliage Green 502).{{Cite web |title=Update of Army NSC Airdrop/Air Delivery Equipment Color Transition |url=https://www3.natick.army.mil/sshottop.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051112193537/https://www3.natick.army.mil/sshottop.htm |archive-date=12 November 2005 |access-date=26 December 2024 |website=Natick Soldier Center (NSC) website}} The pattern is notable for its elimination of the color black.{{cite web |url=http://www.hyperstealth.com/acupat/ |title=New Digital U.S. Army Combat Uniform eliminates Black in pattern |last=Cramer |first=Guy |year=2004 |website=HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. |access-date=27 June 2009 |archive-date=1 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090901201013/http://www.hyperstealth.com/acupat/ |url-status=live }} Justification given for the omission of black was that black is a color not commonly found in nature.{{cite web |url=https://peosoldier.army.mil/faqs/acu.asp |title=Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Army Combat Uniform |date=24 February 2012 |website=Program Executive Office Soldier |publisher=U.S. Army |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130214114004/https://peosoldier.army.mil/faqs/acu.asp |archive-date=14 February 2013}} Pure black viewed through night vision goggles can appear extremely dark and create an undesirable high-contrast image.{{citation needed|date=December 2024|reason=Dont remove pls..!

The U.S. Army incorrectly reported to the media that the basis for the UCP was the Urban Track pattern,{{citation needed|date=December 2024|reason=Dont remove pls..! The Army probably did claim UCP uses Urban Track's colors (even if originally vague in wording) given the amount of press coverage and senate interference Universal camouflage and the ACU received.}} which had been modified through the removal of black from the pattern and pixelated and then reverted in the interest of effectiveness. Pattern comparisons subsequently established that the information provided by the U.S. Army was incorrect, and that the pattern was simply a three-colored version of MARPAT, a derivative of the Canadian CADPAT scheme. No evidence has been presented by the U.S. Army that the new UCP pattern had undergone proper field testing. In later tests conducted by the Natick Soldier Center, results indicated that UCP did not fare well against other multi-environment patterns.{{Cite web |last1=Rock |first1=Kathryn |last2=Lesher |first2=Larry |last3=Stewardson |first3=Cheryl |last4=Isherwood |first4=Kristine |last5=Hepfinger |first5=Lisa |date=23 June 2009 |title=Photosimulation Camouflage Detection Test |url=https://soldiersystems.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/photosimulation-camouflage-detection-test.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240708104034/https://soldiersystems.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/photosimulation-camouflage-detection-test.pdf |archive-date=8 July 2024 |access-date=25 December 2024 |website=Natick Soldier Center (NSC) |via=Soldier Systems Daily (SSD) |id=NATICK/TR-09-021L; 63001}}{{Cite web |last1=Hepfinger |first1=Lisa |last2=Stewardson |first2=Cheryl |last3=Rock |first3=Kathryn |last4=Leshner |first4=Larry L. |last5=Kramer |first5=F.

Following building criticism of the poor effectiveness of the pattern in most terrains in the Afghan and Middle Eastern theaters of operations, the use of the pattern was discussed within the U.S. Congress. A bill passed by Congress in 2009 ordered the Department of Defense to "take immediate action to provide combat uniforms to personnel deployed to Afghanistan with a camouflage pattern that is suited to the environment of Afghanistan."{{Cite web |date=17 June 2009 |title=Congress Cares About Camo |url=http://soldiersystems.net/2009/06/17/congress-cares-about-camo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090628075407/http://soldiersystems.net/2009/06/17/congress-cares-about-camo/ |archive-date=28 June 2009 |access-date=16 January 2025 |website=Soldier Systems Daily (SSD)}}{{cite news |last=Maze |first=Rick |date=21 June 2009 |title=Troops in Afghanistan would get new uniforms |url=http://armytimes.com/news/2009/06/military_afghanistan_uniforms_061509w/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20090904075315/http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/06/military_afghanistan_uniforms_061509w/ |archive-date=4 September 2009 |access-date=13 August 2009 |work=Army Times |publisher=Army Times Publishing Company}}

In the interim, the Army conducted a brief in-country test of replacements for use in Afghanistan that included "UCP Delta", a variant of UCP that added coyote brown, and the commercial pattern MultiCam,{{Cite web |date=September 2009 |title=Camo for Afghanistan - The Rest of the Story |url=https://soldiersystems.net/camo-for-afghanistan-the-rest-of-the-story/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090927184224/https://soldiersystems.net/camo-for-afghanistan-the-rest-of-the-story/ |archive-date=27 September 2009 |access-date=16 January 2025 |website=Soldier Systems Daily (SSD)}} which had been created by Crye Associates and was based on their original Scorpion pattern from 2002. MultiCam was quickly selected and issued to all troops deployed to Afghanistan.
