Duck hunter camouflage design from the outdoor clothing designer of the United States, and for the first time used for military in 1942. Initially, the US Army issued the camouflage onesie for soldiers, but it turned ineffective. Its distribution amount was not significant, and it was usually worn by special units such as mechanics or snipers. And it is very similar to the camouflage uniform of the German Army, easy to cause the wrong damage to their comrades.
In 1942, the USMC also produced a split style uniform made of the same herringbone-print camouflage fabric, contains a jacket and a pair of pants, The color of its front is the yellow-green of spring and summer, and the reverse is the brown of the dead leaves of autumn and winter.
This version, commonly known as the P-42, featured a button-closed fly, which was more convenient than a button and was a very humane design for its time.
