Afghans wearing Multicam

Afghan security forces have quite the variety of camouflage patterns and different colors for their various service uniforms. We came across this shot of the Afghan Police Unit (APU), while this is a new term it to us, it seems to go hand in hand with Afghan Partner Unit aka APU, which work along with Joint Special Operations Command to be the first point of contact with local Afghan civilians to make sure cultural norms are held before ISAF Forces make contact.

Very cool info Arch.

Excuse my ignorance, but are they wearing 100% supplied US kit, I guess the lids are not US issued, but the webbing and uniforms are they US supplied?

The lids are F6 combat helmets. https://oefoif.forumotion.net/t1983-combat-helmet Which are also used by US SF or such.
