Does any one know the information that US Army officially

besides OG107,Woodland Camouflage, Tree Color, and ACU...

I'm long retired but from what I've seen the old M-65 field jacket has all but disappeared, replaced by the gore-tex parka.

 

In the example above pictured, I don't see the chest tab for rank which is how all Army uniforms have displayed rank since they adopted the ACU in 2005.  So it's just a guess on my part but I'd say that picture above is a commercial variant of the M-65, not something issued.  

 

I do recall seeing some ACU field jackets, I think they were issued to new troops for cold weather wear since Gore-Tex is an "organizational issue" item that brand new troops would not get.  But I've never seen anbody wearing one.

What do you think of this pictures

I know Atlanco/Tru-Spec has made a Multicam 50/50 NyCo ripstop M-65 for over 10 years. 

 

I thought Big Army discontinued the M-65 in UCP years before Multicam/OCP  ACU cut was made limited issue for Afghan theatre?

The last time I was issued an M65 was a 3 color desert in 2002. Haven't seen an issue 65 since then so I would think any 65 in Multicam/OCP would be a commercial product.

The US Army stopped issuing the M-65 in FY 2009. It was never adopted in MultiCam or OCP.
