This pattern appeared in '91 , first seen in use in Somalia, and used in Afghanistan by early rotations.
There is a photo in the San Marco thread of this ( Italy ) section that shows two Italian naval personnel and a soldier wearing the sometimes called " Somalia " pattern.
Vegetato patterns, both temperate, and desert began to be issued around 2004.
Some Italian army and airforce SF units also wore khaki BDU - like uniforms before Vegetato patterns became standard issue.

This uniform has been used during OEF/OIF but it's a little different from the one used in Somalia. I'm collecting some more info and pics and will get back to you.

I friend on mine brought a set of these home from OEF when he was there with the 82d ABN DIV in the early years. Tom

From what I gathered there are 2 versions of this uniform, an M90, and an M92.
This uniform is an M92 .
