Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform (DPCU) shirt

The DPCU was introduced in the 1980s and was worn by members of the Australian Defence Force. The pattern made the wearer less visible in jungle and some arid environments, while the long sleeves protected against the sun, wind, and insect bites.

In some operational areas in the 2000s this was replaced by the Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform (DPDU). Both DPCU and DPDU were gradually replaced in the Army by another pattern known as Multicam.
