Combat Dress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Combat Dress was the name of the uniform worn by members of the Land Force Command of the Canadian Forces from 1968 to 2002.[1]
The Olive Green Combat Dress replaced the 1949 Pattern Battle Dress. Olive green uniforms were adopted by NATO members in the 1960s, but abandoned for camouflage and disruptive patterns by all but Canada. Development of CADPAT started in the 1990s, but it was not until the turn of the 21st century that widespread adoption began. The Royal Canadian Army Cadets and the Royal Canadian Air Cadets issue parts of the Combat Dress uniform in limited numbers alongside the Field Training Uniform for training in the field.
