DPM (part 1)

Welcome to the first instalment of our exploration into the evolution of British Army Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM) camouflage. Over four videos, we'll trace its journey from inception to replacement, spanning from approximately 1968 to 2010. DPM, renowned for its effectiveness, served as the backbone of British Army camouflage until the introduction of Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP).
Our journey commences with the iconic '68 pattern DPM, marking the genesis of this revolutionary camouflage design. While not the inaugural pattern, it became widely adopted and played a pivotal role during significant historical events such as the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. Join us as we delve into the intricate details of the '68 pattern, uncovering its origins, design nuances, and real-world applications.
Stay tuned as we traverse through subsequent iterations, including the '84 pattern, desert DPM, and the '95 pattern, each representing a distinct phase in the evolution of British Army camouflage. Through our exploration, we aim to shed light on the enduring legacy of DPM and its lasting impact on military operations and tactics."
