Outdated design. The M81 camouflage pattern was designed during the Cold War, with the design being based on the projected battlefields of Europe. It's designed to meld into one solid colour at a distance, sacrificing it's camouflaging value from close up.

The United States phased out the use of Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) in the early 2000s due to a shift in military doctrine and the development of new camouflage patterns. The military adopted the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) and the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) to better suit the needs of modern warfare and improve camouflage effectiveness.
