US Army Combat Uniform - Winter Training

Figures
1

Does the US Army currently have a camouflage uniform specifically designed for winter training?

I have a small-scale model of the M1126 Stryker that I want to incorporate in a snow scene (a winter training scenario), and wonder whether the two infantry figures I intend to add to the scene should be wearing a specific camouflage rather than the standard ACU.

Thanks,

Paul

Check out the various photos at the link. Plain white and predominantly white camo shown. Not sure what is current at this date.

The above snow camo is just a test. There is no current winter uniform. You just add layers to your OCP (woodland-ish) camo uniform. The additional layers are also OCP camo.

The guys up in Alaska used to get issued overwhites. I don’t know if that is still in the system up there, but it was in the past.

I’m coming to this late, but yes, the Army did issue overwhites as Stik mentioned. Big Army and SF. Paul - I would recommend the MiniArt set number 35226 - Soviet Assault Infantry. I purchased it just for the PPSh-41’s, but the figures are easily converted to US troops - just give them different weapons.

No longer in production due to the Ukraine War, the best 1/35 figures in snowsuits, in my option, is the 1/35 Assault Models of Russia USMC Snipers. They are long out-of-production so you’re going to have to hunt for them.

The load bearing gear stands out…a lot. Maybe something to break that up?

i like the Marines pattern and i think the opaque is better than the transparent.

It doesn’t matter however if thermal sights are being used by the bad guys.
