Tactical requirements, soldier feedback, and extensive research led to the camouflage the United States
Army now uses in Afghanistan: MultiCam. Developed for use in multiple environments, seasons, elevations,
and light conditions, this versatile camouflage pattern effectively conceals the wearer in both the
visual and near infrared spectrums.
Multicam takes on the shades of the surrounding environment, disguises volume and shape, and balances
scale and contrast by using seven shades without a distinct repeating pattern. Large swaths of medium
colors change seamlessly across the material to break up the wearer's silhouette, while small patches
of grey and dark brown appear randomly to blend into the immediate environment. Multicam also reflects
the colors of the surrounding area so one style of camouflage can work for a myriad of environments
and lighting conditions.

Tactical requirements, soldier feedback, and extensive research led to the camouflage the United States
Army now uses in Afghanistan: MultiCam. Developed for use in multiple environments, seasons, elevations,
and light conditions, this versatile camouflage pattern effectively conceals the wearer in both the
visual and near infrared spectrums.
Early in the war in Afghanistan, American military forces realized ACU digicam (ARPAT) was not
effective in arid environments. It can be perceived as a solid color from a distance and up close,
pixilated patterns clash with the natural environment. Crye Precision took up the call to produce a
more versatile camouflage based on the needs of the United States Army. Using photos of the Afghan
environment, documenting common light and terrain changes, researching how the human brain perceives
color, studying how animals use camouflage in nature, and consulting with hundreds of soldiers resulted
in the camouflage system soldiers can't wait to get into.
Multicam takes on the shades of the surrounding environment, disguises volume and shape, and balances
scale and contrast by using seven shades without a distinct repeating pattern. Large swaths of medium
colors change seamlessly across the material to break up the wearer's silhouette, while small patches
of grey and dark brown appear randomly to blend into the immediate environment. Multicam also reflects
the colors of the surrounding area so one style of camouflage can work for a myriad of environments
and lighting conditions.
Multicam has been rigorously tested by the United States Army and proven to be the most effective
camouflage for desert environments, but its unique design makes it a powerful tactical advantage in
any location. Our soldiers trust Multicam to keep them safe, so you can be sure it will get the job
done for you. If you wear Multicam, your enemies had better beware: they'll never see you coming.
