Back to the Future, Scorpion

The US Army has a sense of humor. After the last major camo competition, they wanted to introduce Crye Precision's Multicam pattern, but Crye refused to give up the rights to the camo. Competitor Hyperstealth is upset because the Army first negotiated with the candidate with the most average results, and now they are taking the precursor pattern to Multicam, Scorpion, which is also from Crye but the rights belong to the Army. There will be no variations of Scorpion (which were required in the last camo competition, which is why Multicam now consists of several different patterns. Just like US4CES or Kryptek). Scorpion is intended to replace both the current Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) which is Multicam and the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP) introduced in 2004 that still doesn't make sense in terms of where it should camouflage. The name of Scorpion after its gentle introduction from now on will be Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP). A punch in the face to Crye Precision. HERE Hyperstealth has a very nice page that explains what Scorpion is and how it differs from Multicam.

The main difference between Multicam and Scorpion lies in the vertical elements and slightly fewer spots.
