[me] camo pattern identifikation
>>
>>Does anyone know where the following is from?
It is an experimental pattern developed for the U.S. Marine Corps as part
of their "Urban Warrior" project. It was unofficially known as the
"T-pattern." Aside from a few exercises in 1998-99, it was never issued on
a wide scale. They also made a version which had a tan rather than grey
background, but pictures of that are pretty rare. Here's a good link
showing what the uniform looks like:

As an aside, rumor has it that the Marine Corps actually planned to use
this pattern for their new uniforms, but finally decided not to because it
was designed by the U.S. Army. They settled on a camo pattern called
MARPAT (MARine PATtern - http://www.mcaroy.com/cadpat.htm) and actually
copyrighted it so that no one else can use it!
Image is everything...
