Line 36:
Following an Urgent Operational Requirement for a camouflage uniform for the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|Afghan theatre of operations]], and the success of a commercially available pattern (Crye's MultiCam) when tested in trials, a decision was made to use [[MultiCam]] as the basis of a new Multi-Terrain Pattern for British armed forces, replacing the previous temperate DPM uniforms. Desert DPM uniforms were to be retained but later entirely replaced alongside Woodland DPM.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}}
The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence announced that HM Forces would be issued with the new [[British Army uniform]] for operations in Afghanistan with personnel serving under the 4th Mechanised Brigade;<ref name="CNNR">{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/12/20/uk.army.camouflage/index.html|title=British troops to get first new camouflage in 40 years|work=CNN|date=2009-12-20|access-date=2009-12-21}}</ref> initially issued to personnel deployed on [[Operation Herrick]] from March 2010, then issued more widely to HM Forces from 2011 onward replacing all DPM including Woodland and Desert variants of the Combat Soldier 95 uniform by 2013 along with the introduction of the new Personal Clothing System.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soldiersystems.net/2011/02/08/introduction-of-personal-clothing-system/|title=Introduction of Personal Clothing System - Soldier Systems Daily|date=8 February 2011 }}</ref>
