James,
It appears the Brits are upgrading to a new camouflage uniform [1] to replace the venerable Disruptive Pattern, Marine (DPM) and in some instances, the #5 Desert Combat. Dubbed the Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) [2], it was developed by Crye Precision and bears a striking resemblance to their “MultiCam” camo.
It looks like their will be a flood of the old DPMs on the surplus market in the near future. [JWR Adds: This release of surplus uniforms will undoubtedly be a boon to preppers. Be prepared to stock up when the prices drop at vendors like CheaperThanDirt.com [3].]
Take care and God bless, – Paul
