Operational Camouflage Pattern Effectiveness

In this video we look at the effectiveness of the U.S. Army's Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), in a Woodland Environment during the Spring / Summer time (North Texas woods). This video will consist of numerous scenes where each will begin with a concealed stationary position (both with & without the use of vegetation), followed by a movement phase out of the initial position. The purpose of the video is to give the viewer a chance to see the individual camouflage pattern and how it looks and blends into this environment. There will be varying degrees of how much of the uniform will be exposed to the viewer. Some scenes will only expose little more than perhaps a hat, while other scenes will have virtually no vegetation covering. This video is a little different then my normal effectiveness videos in that the camera is moving opposed to a still shot.

I spotted most of the hiding places in a matter of seconds, so effectiveness is hard to judge. But there's also a difference between knowing what to look for beforehand and stumbling into a scene like this in real life without knowing that an "enemy" is there.

You'd think that the greener/woodland patterns would work better in this sort of heavily vegetated terrain, but I actually think this OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) works best of all in the various tests he's done. Most woodland patterns are darker, and tend to stand out more than the slightly lighter/paler patterns such as OCP.
Very good video - well done.

If a country ever decides to invade us, I feel bad for any enemy soldier that comes across this guy. This man has a camo pattern for every damn day of the year, he would be a ghost lmao

[jordanhoffman]

I really appreciate you putting the British MultiTerrain in the side-by-side shot. I've been wanting to see a good comparison between these patterns.

[wsingmani]

im impress how effective it is blending in the enviroment

[christiangains]

This is a GREAT tactical demonstration!!! AND! Those patterns are pretty much alike, with minor differences...BUT what I enjoyed MOST was FINDING YOU! THANKS 0331!!
AS USUAL, I BOTH learned, & now KNOW, what works in what way!
I'm a TEXAN, so, your terrain is quite DEFINITELY, my back yard!!

[dannyduvall]

WOW !! That is the BEST one yet!! The other multicam pattern a person could spot you a mile away because it had too much tan in it. But this one you vanished! There were numerous times I could not see you and you were out in the open!! I was always skeptical about multicam but this pattern seemed to have more green in it.I will definantly be purchasing this stuff !!

[mitchschutter]

I agree how many people consider Multicam and the like to be universal. When under shadow, it matches the foliage really well. The only issue I have is that when in broad daylight, and against a summer green backdrop, they light up like a birthday candle. I like specific patterns myself, so in the summer here in Michigan, I picked Multicam Tropic. I would also probably prefer a camo that was a little too dark as opposed to a little too light, like Multicam. It seems like a little too dark doesn't make you as easily visible as a little too light.

Great comparison - the lack of knowledge to tell the difference between what MTP and Multicam is, good job sir!

[libbyfan]

First thing I noticed on this pattern was the amount of browns compared to the original MultiCam.

[someguy]

Do we all agree this is yards better than UCP?

[GarySlegg]

What would be really helpful is if you repeated the test dressed in blue jeans and a white t - shirt, that would really enable us to see how effective the cammo is :)

[annconlon]

Somehow I always imagined Texas to be more arid, but where you're at looks amazing. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.

This video was like playing where's waldo. It was really fun! In about half the clips I literally had no idea where you were!

I remember being out in the boonies in the grassland desert of Colorado for a vehicle class. There was a group of us that went out to do a class while I was a part of the group that stayed with the vehicles. It took me a second to find them. But eventually I did. It was so hard to find them when they're wearing OCP and I didn't know where they were! Ofcourse after I knew where they were, they were easy to find, but it just goes to show how magnificent this camoflage is! Unlike that dog water grandma's couch crap.

[landonstokes]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed it I can't wait till the Air Force starts wearing it in October!

[allanleon]

Thanks for always getting down and dirty just to show us the real time effectiveness of these camo's. No ego's just business. I just received my own OCP FRACU BDU's.

[GonZo]

Awesome Display with the 3 Varietys next to each other and looking into the Difference between them.

[fernandorosales]

That's awesome camouflage it works well

[Overwatch]

This one is great in this envorionment! Both the terrain and the camo are very bright.
