Female USGI OCP/Scorpion W2 Garrison or Fire-Resistant Uniform Perimeter Insect Guard

• Release date was 7/1/15 and wear out date of the old multicam pattern is 10/2019, Fort Carson and 11 other bases begin the official change 7/1/17.  It will not be required immediately but the patterns cannot be mixed during wear (i.e. cannot wear and OCP top with the old MC pant)

Changes in the uniform:

• Upper-sleeve pocket will feature a zipper closure instead of a velcro closure for easier access, the new pockets will look similar to those found on combat shirts
• Upper sleeve pocket will be 1 inch longer (feedback on post-combat surveys showed that soldiers require roomier pockets and more room for patches)
• No internal elbow pads and velcro elbow patches as they were found useless in the field but the double fabric reinforcement on the elbow area remains
• No cord-and-barrel lock on the casrgo pocket
• No knee pad or patches but still reinforced fabric in the knee area
• The lower-leg pocket has previously used a velcro closure, from now on, it will feature a one-button closure instead
• No more mandarin collar, instead a traditional fold-down design
• Only two pen pockets instead of the usual three
• After complain that the drawstrings on the uniform pants' waistband looks unprofessional, it was proposed they be removed
• Fabric content is 50/50 NYCO -Nylon/Cotton, still insect repellent but not FR
  

• The single difference that is easiest to see, while holding both pieces together is that the multicam pattern has a distinct vertical element in the pattern, the scorpion does not have a vertical element.
  
• See the patterns side by side in the last picture, Multicam is on the left and Scorpion is on the right
• Note that the shopping cart will show "MC" if the item is Multicam and 'Scorpion' if the item is Scorpion.
