The ACU has been around in one way shape or form since 2004 seeing three large scale camouflage patterns printed on it (along with a few small scale and other solid colors) and technically two generations. However looking further into it these uniforms are much more extensive seeing a lot more variation to them between the standard NYCO version, Flame Resistant ones, specialty treated, and even less noticed but greatly produced adjusted and modified versions.
