It's high time the KDF switches from their current uniform,to a Uniform that blends well with their area of operation. The current KDF uniform is a tactical disaster. What they are wearing right now is what we call the DPM, the Disruptive Pattern Material. It was designed by the British specifically for the European forest during the Cold War. Because we love copying our colonial masters, we adopted it without a second thought. We ignored the fact that Kenya is two-thirds semi-arid. Our soldiers are not fighting in a Bosnian forest, they are there up North in the heat, in the dust, and in the scrublands. In these scrublands, our soldiers wearing DPM stand out like clear black targets. As seen in the photo above, wearing the first uniform in an arid area makes it much easier for the enemy to spot you compared to the second one. DPM is too high contrast. It creates a silhouette for the enemies to target our soldiers. Every modern army is evolving. Rwanda is green, so they picked the best green for their army. We need a Kenyan original. We need an omnipatern,a pattern engineered for our soil, our land, and our mission. It’s time to stop copying the past and start engineering our future. Is it time for a new standard?
