Instead Australia continued to use a slightly updated version of the uniform worn during World War I. This uniform was also worn into the Korean War. Following service with the 28th Commonwealth Division in Malaya and Borneo, Australia adopted "Jungle Greens" for all field wear eventually modifying the uniform during the Vietnam War with slanted pockets and with the blouse to be worn outside of the trousers, similar to U.S. "Jungle fatigues" (the forerunner of the U.S. <a href="/wiki/Battle_Dress_Uniform" title="Battle Dress Uniform">Battle Dress Uniform</a>) which also first appeared in Vietnam. The modified JGs were colloquially called the "Pixie suit." JGs were worn through the 1970s and until the adoption of Australia's own camouflage pattern called <a href="/wiki/Disruptive_Pattern_Combat_Uniform" class="mw-redirect" title="Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform">Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform</a> (more commonly called DPCU or Auscam) introduced from 1982. There was also multiple patterns based off DPCU, including the Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform, and a red/white version for OPFOR teams during combat exercises </p><p>The Australian Defence Force has, as of 2014, introduced the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Multicam_Camouflage_Uniform" title="Australian Multicam Camouflage Uniform">Australian Multicam Camouflage Uniform</a> (AMCU) for Army and Air Force personnel engaged in warlike activities, and for Air Force field exercises. There is two main variants of AMCU available to AA and RAAF troops, the Field Uniform, the standard uniform cut seen since LAND125 Phase 4. It features 2 breast pockets, an epaulette on the chest, a pocket on either upper sleeve (where a unit patch and flag are attached with hook and loop fasteners), two front trouser pockets, 2 side zip pockets and a pocket to slip in kneepads.

This was of a separate pattern from the British Service Dress adopted after the Boer War, and marked a departure in Canadian uniforms in that it was distinct from the scarlet/blue/rifle green uniforms traditionally worn to that point, the latter of which became "ceremonial" dress for parades and other functions apart from field training. </p><p>Until well into the Cold War era, the Canadian Army had worn battle dress uniforms similar to their British and Commonwealth counterparts, though with different national identifiers and regimental accoutrements (with Khaki Drill uniforms being worn in the summer or in tropical regions). In the early 1950s, battle dress began to be replaced with lightweight uniforms, at first Bush Dress for summer wear, and in the 1960s with a new combat dress, a set of olive drab garments more similar to the American style of combat wear (i.e. made up of layers and solely for wear in the field as opposed to all-purpose wool Battle Dress). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Service_Dress_(1907–1940)"><span id="Service_Dress_.281907.E2.80.931940.29"></span>Service Dress (1907–1940)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Combat_uniform&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Service Dress (1907–1940)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Canadian pattern Service Dress worn by other ranks did not stand up to the rigors of campaigning, however, and was widely replaced by British uniforms in France; some samples of Canadian pattern SD were retained in Canada, and after the war, surviving to be issued briefly in 1939. </p><p>Officers wore a distinctive pattern of Service Dress (as did Warrant Officers I Class), which was identical to that worn by British officers; they were privately purchased, and of better quality than other ranks uniform.

Although it was intended to be a field uniform, it was mainly used as a winter walking-out uniform until the late 1950s. However, the <i>armée de l'air</i> used it in its dark blue version, until 2010. </p><p>A proper cotton combat uniform was introduced in 1947 (Modèle 47) based on a jacket inspired by the US 1943 pattern and loose trousers with two big cargo pockets on each side of the thighs. The same year, a special uniform, also called Modèle 47 was issued to airborne units composed of a large jacket with two breast and two hip cargo pockets. Originally, both "Modèle 47"s were issued in khaki. From 1951 on, the paratroopers' uniform and, in a lesser proportion, the standard Modèle 47 were issued in a three-colour camouflage pattern which gave the uniform the nickname <i>tenue léopard</i> (leopard uniform), but became better known as the <a href="/wiki/Lizard_(camouflage)" title="Lizard (camouflage)">TAP47 lizard pattern</a>. It was issued in many colour variants (colourways), saw war service in <a href="/wiki/Indochina" class="mw-redirect" title="Indochina">Indochina</a> and in <a href="/wiki/North-Africa" class="mw-redirect" title="North-Africa">North-Africa</a>, and was frequently copied by nations in those areas. </p><p>The last official issue was the 1956 variant, but its use continued until the end of the war in Algeria. The <i>tenue léopard</i> was a symbol of elite units and was issued only to Foreign Legion and French airborne units. Therefore, it was withdrawn in 1962—officially, to give a standard uniform to the whole of the French army but, less officially, to <a href="/wiki/Algiers_putsch_of_1961" title="Algiers putsch of 1961">punish those elite troops which had not behaved well during the conflict</a>. The Modèle 1947 paratroopers uniform continued to be produced in grey-green material (water repellent and herringbone) until 1969, when it was replaced by the Modèle 1964. On another side, the camouflaged uniform was still in use by the French forces in overseas territories until the end of the 1980s; a huge quantity of them was then handed over to Portugal and Israel. </p><p>The French army received a new standard battle dress in 1964, roughly based on the principles of the 1947 pattern, but much closer to the body, with zipped breast pockets and made of water repellent grey-green infrared proof material called Satin 300 to protect soldiers against nuclear and chemical agents. Because of a budget shortage at the beginning of the 1980s, this uniform was made of much lighter but much more fragile herringbone material under the name F1. A new variant under the name F2 was introduced at the end of the eighties made of a much stronger material. F1 uniforms were mainly sent to overseas territories. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1990s_to_present">1990s to present</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Combat_uniform&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: 1990s to present"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1980s, research results were rejected, because of the similarity to German <i><a href="/wiki/Flecktarn" title="Flecktarn">flecktarn</a></i>.

The trousers followed the tried and tested battledress design, while the bush jacket had several pockets inside and out, closing with zips and buttons, a hip length skirt with draw-strings to keep out the wind, and a similar arrangement at the waist. The uniform was produced in a greyish green colour (OG), similar to the U.S. Army OD. </p><p>With the end of <a href="/wiki/National_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="National Service">National Service</a> in 1961, the Army looked for a new uniform: Something that was smarter than battledress, but also more comfortable, while still having a military air about it. Using the Korean War combat clothing as a basis, various new items of field wear were developed for the 1960-pattern Combat Dress, which was well made, with a lining above the waist and reinforced elbows. The 1960s was a period of transition for the Army, and this was reflected in the changes that were taking place in soldier's uniform.<sup id="cite_ref-Burns_1992_27-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burns_1992-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Formally classified as "No. 5 Dress", the 1949 pattern battledress began to be withdrawn from British Army use from 1961 on. With the general issue of the new service dress uniform for parade and off-duty ('walking out") wear, battledress was relegated to barracks wear from about 1962 and thereafter disappeared within individual units as stocks were used up.
