| Australian soldiers fighting in the war in Afghanistan will wear camouflage identical to their U.S. allies, Australian Defense Department announced on Friday.
Minister for Defense Materiel Jason Clare made the announcement at the Land Warfare Conference in Brisbane on Friday. "We're doing this because the feedback from Special Forces is that this is better camouflage Tiffany Jewelry, both in the green zone and in the desert and in the urban areas," he told ABC News, adding "and the uniforms are better quality Tiffany, it makes it easier for them to do their jobs." The major changes to solders' uniforms will see the traditional khaki and brown camouflage replaced with the U.S.-style green and sand uniforms Tiffany, which Clare said is better suited to Afghanistan's diverse landscape of deserts and river valleys. Also, the Multicam shirt and trousers have built-in elbow and knee pads. The Defense Force has placed an urgent order with the U.S. to get the uniforms for the troops in Afghanistan. Clare said the Defense Materiel Organization will try to purchase a license to begin manufacturing the uniforms in Australia. |
