pockets on DCUs aren't slanted as so, they are not angled. Unless you're trying to do CCUs, but I can't really see if you put on bottom trouser pockets.

Looks good, just needs a little tweaking and it'll be perfect. There's a lack of early 2000s units for A2.

True - never really noticed that. I'll see what I can do, although it'll be hard to edit the normal and keep it looking decent. To be honest, I don't really know too much about the gear - just based everything off references I found and the original model. Just did a quick google search on CCUs - they aren't as common as the general DCU design, right?

EDIT - actually I should have read more - what bink et al did on the models look like CCUs - which I guess are early 2000s designs that the ACU later picked up on... not too sure about how common\differences between the DCU (by which I assume you mean older gear), but the model is accurate to them

(the bottom pocket is there)

CCUs were precursors to the ACU, they were made in 2003 and 2004 for use in iraq, and other purposes, Before then there was experimental uniforms which were not much different.

It's very close to the ACU, so if anything compare it to the ACU, not the BDU cut.
Shoulder pockets have a slit in the middle, very tight pockets and velcro sometimes comes loose cause of the slit, i think that was improved during a later iteration where the was no slit

breast pockets were tilted 90 degrees inwards with tabs

pen pockets had 2 slots instead of 3

and other small changes but mostly the same as the ACU..

CCUs? Aren't they just ACUs; just not in UCP/OCP?

EDIT: Never mind.

No, they differ, pocket dimensions are not the same as well as the differences I posted above

Oh, yeah. You're right. The front pockets are still vertical like on the BDU/DCU/DBDU and not slanted inward like on the ACU/MCCUU.

Anyway, most regular frontline U.S. Army soldiers still wore the BDU/DCU until both were replaced by the ACU in early-to-mid 2006.

Not quite they open at a 90 degree slant where the acu is 45 degrees slant.

Regardless ccus were only used in 2003 and 2004 scaresly for evaluation
