The next in the line of super-cool ultra-modern camo patterns is an alternate color scheme from Digital Concealment Systems. You may already know them for their original tan/grey A-TACS camo released almost two years ago, featured as the uniform pattern for the TCC at Invasion VI. While the original tan-based A-TACS pattern’s qualities may be debatable in Oklahoma, the new green-based pattern is clearly a winner in any area with a decent amount of foliage.
I have primarily been a user of Multicam for over five years, but I do like many other patterns as well. I can see the FG being useful in Oklahoma, especially in spring-time.

From the A-TACS website:
“Ever since the launch of the original A-TACS Camo Pattern, people have been asking for a green variant of the pattern. The easy answer would have been to create a simple re-color of the existing pattern and release it as a green variant. Taking that approach may have been easier and faster however, it would not have been the correct way to create an effective temperate climate pattern. The characteristic environmental elements and shapes found in greener, more temperate settings needed to be addressed.
The answer was found in the creation of an entirely new pattern based on the A-TACS Camo’s unique “pattern within a pattern” concept. The addition of simulated depth was also necessary in order to add visual disruption to further break up the human silhouette.
After over a year of development and input of countless tactical professionals, we are proud to introduce A-TACS FG (Foliage/Green) Camo. Utilizing numerous shades of green sampled directly from a variety of forested and transitional terrain elements combined with various shades of earth, A-TACS FG Camo was developed to be effective in a wide range of temperate environments. As with the original A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) Camo pattern, the organic pixels in the micro patterns are grouped into larger, more defined “macro” shapes creating larger more defined patterns. The larger organic shapes and strategically placed shadow elements within the macro pattern help to create a unique three-dimensional effect never before seen in a tactical concealment system.
Following this announcement in the coming weeks, we will post more photos as well as updates on specific A-TACS FG Camo gear being offered by our manufacturing partners in addition to specific information regarding product availability.

A few months ago, I bought a few pouches in A-TACS, to see the pattern for myself. I wasn’t too impressed, it seemed more like a dirty tan than anything really useful. But I can see this version catching on with MilSimers state-side. The green doesn’t necessarily dominate the entire pattern, with earthy tan and brown to help give the appearance of stone and dirt mixed in with the leafy green.
Could there be a possibility of it being a featured pattern in a near-future MSE Op?
