DPM, Disruptive Pattern Material has been a standard British Army camouflage field attire for almost half a century. The first model, called the P60, was not yet a DPM in the true sense of the word. Only the following P68 and P84 can be described as real DPM camouflage uniforms. During the Cold War, these were extremely popular uniforms, which anyone who could afford, foreign special units, mercenaries, etc. reached for. They have double suits attached to the support system, each of which can carry 3 M16/L85 magazines. Note that the bags are significantly faded compared to the original DPM color.
Notice the difference in DPM colors. One photo shows S94 and the other S95. S94 is yellower, S95 greener. There is also the so-called S2000, which is the latest model. "S" in the name means "Soldier", but sometimes CS or P is also given, but P is incorrect and was used for older models to denote "Pattern". In the first two photos I took a jacket and pants. In the British system of division of clothing components for S95 we distinguish the following components:
For warm "lightweight" environments:
jacket
pants and blouse (shirt)
All are made of Rip-Stop material.

Also for temperate environments:
leg
Combat Smock
blouse and thermal liner (Fleece)/NSN 8415-99-869-2174 /


With the S94, the distribution of components is the same, but the clothing for warm areas is not made of Rip-Stop material.
In addition, there are also accessories from Goratex, the so-called Para Smock, Arctic Windproof Jacket, etc.
Bulletproof vests carry National Stock Number: DPM S94/95: 8470-99-130-1216-1221 and DPM Desert 8470-99-132-0956-0961
In addition, a backpack, Infantry Rucksak PAT90, is also made to the PLCE PAT90 support system. Its components carry the following NSN: 8465-99-978-9220, 8465-99-978-9221, 8465-99-132-1560, 8465-99-132-1555, 8465-99-132-1562
The latest addition is the SAS Windproof Combat Smock, manufactured in 2005, NSN 8415-99-573-5265


note: the soldier in the middle photo (No.01) is not a member of the Brigade Of Gurkhas.

These photographs perfectly show the variety of uniforms used in the military. Soldiers in desert uniforms carry nothing special during British military exercises on British soil, imitating the "enemy side".
