The Australian Multicam Camouflage Uniform (AMCU) is the combat uniform camouflage pattern for the Australian Defence Force, general issued from 2014 onwards.[1][2] The AMCU replaced the Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform (DPCU) and Australian Multicam Pattern - Operational Combat Uniform (AMP-OCU) camouflage patterns.[3][4]
The AMCU has the base pattern of the MultiCam camouflage pattern with a colour palette based on the Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform.[5][6]
The AMCU became the official uniform of the Australian Army in late 2019, with DPCU discontinued and last issued in 2021.[citation needed]
