Army</a> for use as the U.S. Army's main camouflage pattern on the <a href="/wiki/Army_Combat_Uniform" title="Army Combat Uniform">Army Combat Uniform</a> (ACU). This pattern officially replaced the U.S. Army's previous <a href="/wiki/Universal_Camouflage_Pattern" title="Universal Camouflage Pattern">Universal Camouflage Pattern</a> (UCP) as the official combat uniform pattern for most U.S. soldiers at the end of September 2019. The pattern also superseded the closely related <a href="/wiki/MultiCam" title="MultiCam">MultiCam</a>, a pattern previously used for troops deploying to Afghanistan. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a> also replaced their former <a href="/wiki/Airman_Battle_Uniform" title="Airman Battle Uniform">Airman Battle Uniform</a> (ABU) with the ACU in OCP after positive feedback from airmen who wore the uniform while being deployed to Afghanistan with Army soldiers. In 2019, it also commenced use by <a href="/wiki/United_States_Space_Force" title="United States Space Force">United States Space Force</a> personnel who had transferred from the Air Force to the Space Force. </p><p>The original "Scorpion" pattern was developed by a joint venture of the Army's <a href="/wiki/Natick_Labs" class="mw-redirect" title="Natick Labs">Natick Labs</a> and Crye Precision as part of the <i>Objective Force Warrior</i> (OFW) program more than a decade prior. Crye then modified it to create MultiCam for commercial sales.
