AgentG Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This camo was just starting to come into use as I left the Marine Corps (1978). The above photo is a great example of "gray desert" MERDC. To be truthful, as a west coast Marine, I only saw "summer verdant" and "gray desert". This would coincide with the large desert training areas out west as well as what was, at the time, thought to be a threat area (Pacific rim). Years later the PD I was with took charge of a few surplus US Army trucks. All were painted in "winter verdant" colors except one was "Summer verdant" The US 7th Army tested camo called MASSTER in Europe at the same time. That is also illustrated on the above listed web site. I say all this because i believe it drives home a point. There were a variety of colors schemes in use at any given time based on geography.

Centaur95 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) New Zealand used the Red Desert MERDC scheme for a number of years - it was rarely used by the US Army. Red Desert MERDC example Major colours (each 45%) were Earth Red and Earth Yellow Minor colours (each 5%) were Sand and Black Grey Desert MERDC example Major colours (each 45%) were Field Drab (ie brown) and Sand Minor colours (each 5%) were Earth Yellow and Black The 'brown' used for the Red Desert was much darker/more red-brown and note how the Sand (lighter shade) and Earth Yellow (darker shade) colours swap significance compared to the Grey Desert scheme.
