RDF ERDL Brown Dominant Top

ERDL stands for Engineering Research and Development Laboratories and was the first wide spread woodland type camo in the US Military, Woobies and helmet covers became the first items introduced in mass with this pattern from about 1968 to the early 80s. First issued uniforms issued were for special forces during the Vietnam War, initially the USMC was rolling it out as the standard combat uniform during the war but stopped after the US left in 1973.

Early Uniforms were based on the TCU then switched over to an early bdu pattern with the last three years of production, becoming the base for the BDU its self and the later introduced Ripstop variant.
