MACV SOG Black Jungle Fatigues Camouflage Effectiveness
3 Video Views·Oct 10, 2024
What's going on guys?
It's Principal31.
I appreciate you guys tuning in.
So this is part two to my MAC V-SOG inspired uniforms
for camouflage phegnus videos.
If you saw part one, I tested the jungle fatigues
where a lot of the MAC V-SOG recon teams
would take field expedient camouflage
and add to their regular OD jungle fatigue
to help break up the outline.
This in part two is black dye jungle fatigues.
Now, a lot of you are probably asking
why on earth would they do that?
Because, you know, we're all taught
that too much black sticks out in nature.
Well, two important reasons
that you gotta take in consideration.
One, the area that they're operating in,
Cambodian Laos in the deep jungle is triple canopy jungle.
There's a lot of darkness, guys.
A lot of shadows, very dark environment.
And so it's not necessarily a bad thing
to have black in your utilities.
So, you know, you think about the Viet Cong
wearing black pajamas running around, you know,
but, you know, Viet Cong, NVA are synonymous
with camouflage, right?
People always talk about,
oh, the trees are speaking Vietnamese.
Well, they were known for how well they were camouflaged
and a lot of those guys were running around in black pajamas.
So, hey, MAC V-SOG, black dye jungle fatigues,
you know, might blend in pretty well
in the triple canopy jungle.
Now, we don't have triple canopy jungle here,
so we're gonna have to make do.
Also, another reason is, hey, if you have a uniform
that looks similar to what a lot of the enemy's wearing,
it might buy you that extra second that you need
if you have a chance meeting engagement with the enemy.
They might see you, automatically pops in their head,
hey, that might be friendly.
They hesitate.
Well, MAC V-SOG operating behind enemy lines
in Cambodia and Laos, hey,
there ain't no friendlies out there.
So if you bump into the enemy, it's weapons free.
Click that baby on Foliato and go to town.
So that is another reason why some of those Viet Cong
team members might've been wearing
all black dye jungle fatigues.
But nonetheless, guys, let's go ahead and take a look at it.
Thanks for watching.
