› Modern Era: Desert Storm, GWOT and Beyond (1990–Present) › Kalhoty Close Combat Uniform (CCU)
A holy grail for modern era collectors: The US Army CCU (Close Combat Uniform) jacket. Tagged formally as "COAT, COMBAT UNIFORM (CU)". This transitional uniform was issued in limited numbers during 2003-2004 for field trials with Stryker Brigades before the adoption of the UCP ACU. It features the modern ACU cut (velcro pockets, mandarin collar) but in the legacy 3-Color Desert (DCU) pattern. This piece is fully patched to a Sergeant Thompson of the 2nd Infantry Division.
The "Holy Grail" of modern experimental camouflage: An original US Army Helmet Cover in the Urban Track pattern (colloquially known as "T-Pattern"). Produced as part of the Close Combat Uniform (CCU) trials in 2003–2004, this gear was issued in very limited numbers to select units (like the Stryker Brigades) for evaluation before the Army adopted UCP. Genuine, surviving examples of this pattern are incredibly scarce.
The mark of elite combat divers! Up for sale is a genuine US Military Scuba Diver Badge from the 1990s. Before the introduction of the Special Operations Diver Badge in 2004, this was the exact qualification badge awarded to and worn by US Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and Rangers who graduated from the grueling Combat Diver Qualification Course. The badge features a classic scuba mask design with corrugated breathing hoses. It comes in excellent collector's condition with standard clutch-back pins. A must-have for any 1990s Special Operations or Navy display!
The heavy hauler of the US Special Operations Forces: The Gregory UM21 Main Rucksack, part of the SPEAR BALCS system. Unlike standard issue gear, this pack features a commercial-grade, high-performance suspension system designed to carry massive loads in comfort. Manufactured by Gregory Mountain Products. Features the iconic Woodland camouflage. Condition is lightly used, showing minor signs of wear but fully serviceable with intact waterproofing on the bottom.
A prime example of 90s tactical evolution! Up for sale is a commercial (Private Purchase / PX) ALICE pouch for 3x M-16 magazines in Desert Tan/Khaki. During Desert Storm and the early GWOT years, troops often bought aftermarket gear like this to supplement their standard issue. The standout feature is the quick-release plastic fastex buckle, a highly sought-after tactical upgrade over the clunky standard metal clasp. Includes two metal ALICE clips on the back. Great condition, perfect for "Old Gen" gear collectors.
A tactical staple in a great size! Up for sale is a genuine US Army Patrol Cap in OEF-CP (MultiCam) camouflage. With a 2009 contract date, this cap was issued during the height of the war in Afghanistan. Manufactured by Sam Bonk Uniform Co. It features an original "JACKSON" name tape on the back. Size 7 1/4 (approx. 58 cm). Used but in very good condition with no rips, holes, or stains.
