'94 US Experimental Urban Pattern Lightweight Jacket

This pattern exists in two photographs. That’s the entire documentary record.

Sometime around 1994 — before the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory existed, before General Krulak became Commandant, before Urban Warrior — a reversible uniform in a two-colour urban camouflage was tested at Natick Labs. Large irregular blotches in olive green on a tan ground, reversible to a plain face for different conditions. The geometry is closer to a simplified Woodland than to the hard rectangular blocks the T-Block would introduce five years later — an adaptation of existing visual logic rather than a purpose-built solution. Who commissioned it, which branch or program office it originated from, and what conclusions the testing produced are not documented in any available source. It was photographed at Natick and at a training exercise. Then, as far as the record shows, it was set aside.
