When the Soldier Operational Clothing and Equipment Modernization (SOCEM) initiative delivers its first pieces of kit, they will come in a new Canadian Disruptive Pattern (CADPAT).
The new camouflage pattern and colour scheme is under review by the Army commander and be a refinement of what was called Prototype J, a predominantly brown scheme with olive and some of the dark green and black of the current temperate woodland CADPAT that was developed by defence scientists and trialed by soldiers.
The final colour scheme add a light, sandy shade of brown.
In addition to clothing, the new pattern is incorporated into the first iteration of operational equipment under SOCEM: Ballistic helmets, ballistic vests and plates, rucksacks and small packs, which will be called patrol packs, and load carriage for equipment such as the current tactical vest.
