A new combat uniform has been launched by the Armed Forces of Malta to replace the woodland camouflage pattern used to date.

The new uniform pattern has been studied and designed to cope with the increasingly diverse operating environments of a modern army and is specifically designed for dry climates such as that of the Maltese islands.

The new pattern is currently in operational use by some of the top ranking armies in the world, including the United States and the British Army. AFM personnel will also start using the new desert coloured boots which have been chosen due to their superior quality and breathability, improving overall performance in the field.

The new uniform will be put into immediate use as from today by all units of the AFM, excluding the Maritime Squadron which will retain the navy blue uniform.
