As a result, the colors—two desert, two woodland, and services had fragmented procedures for managing their uniform development three universal. In addition, the Army is programs, and did not consistently develop effective camouflage uniforms.

  • Tattici, Uniformi, Mimetismi, Ed Altre Facezie…
    Tattici, Uniformi, Mimetismi, ed altre facezie… Breve guida a cura di EAF51_Bear V. 1.2. - Aprile 2013 Pag. 1 Indice Indice pag. 2 Introduzione pag. 3 Load Carrying Equipment (il tattico) pag. 4 Uniformi da combattimento pag. 18 Pattern mimetici pag. 23 Pag. 2 Introduzione Sono sempre stato appassionato di storia militare. Da anni utilizzo il simulatore di volo IL-2 Sturmovik, partecipando alle attività on-line dell’EAF – European Air Force (www.europeanaf.org) e del relativo Squadron italiano (www.eaf51.org) Da qualche anno, complici alcuni dei piloti virtuali dell’EAF, ho cominciato a giocare a softair. La pratica del softair, e l’esigenza di un adeguato equipaggiamento, mi ha portato a frequentare vari siti in Internet dove si discorre, tra l’altro, di mimetiche e accessori tattici. Molto spesso le descrizioni di divise, mimetiche, ed accessori sono imprecise, e spesso sbagliate. Un esempio per tutti è la designazione del mimetismo attualmente impiegato dall’US ARMY, spesso identificato come ACU. In realtà ACU, acronimo di Army Combat Uniform (uniforme da combattimento dell’esercito) identifica particolare taglio di uniforme, costituito da camicia con collo alla coreana, due tasche inclinate sul petto e due sulle parte superiore maniche, 8 tasche sui pantaloni (due ventrali, due posteriori, due sulle cosce, e due tasche caricatori Colt all’esterno del polpaccio). Il mimetismo digitale attualmente utilizzato dall’US Army si chiama invece UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) in genere anche denominato ACUPAT (Army Combat Uniform Pattern). Il diffuso utilizzo di queste imprecisioni mi ha spinto a provare di sistematizzare ed integrare in modo organico le informazioni di cui disponevo, cercando di identificare correttamente la tipologia delle uniformi, dei diversi mimetismi, dei Load Carrying Equipment, ed i loro acronimi.

    OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL COMMANDER CIVIL AIR PATROL UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AUXILIARY MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, ALABAMA 36112-5937 4 May 2016 MEMORANDUM FOR ALL CAP MEMBERS FROM: CAP/CC SUBJECT: CAP Transition to the Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) 1. I am pleased to announce that the Air Force has approved Civil Air Patrol’s request to transition to the Airman Battle Uniform. As the official auxiliary of the Air Force CAP has a long history of wearing a USAF style uniform and our transition to the ABU once again brings us in line with our parent service. 2. As a result of negotiations with the Army & Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES), CAP has also been approved to receive a significant number of excess ABUs. This will allow many CAP members to receive the basic ABU shirt and pants at no cost. We are currently working with AAFES to take possession of the excess uniforms and each Wing is establishing a distribution plan. We expect these uniforms to be available to members in the field this summer. 3. The phase in period for wear of the ABU will begin on 15 June 2016. Members will wear the ABU with the dark blue tapes and insignia as outlined in the attached wear instructions. Vanguard will begin accepting orders for the new devices on 15 June 2016. The Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) may continue to be worn until the mandatory phase out date of 15 June 2021. CAP will also begin to transition to dark blue tapes on the Corporate field uniform and BDUs with a mandatory wear date of 15 June 2021.
