About Marine Corps Desert MARPAT Camouflage

Desert MARPAT, deployed by the U.S. Marine Corps alongside Woodland MARPAT in late 2002, is specifically designed for arid environments. Its digital camouflage blends tan, brown, and small amounts of green, maximizing concealment in desert terrain. Marked by the unique “Eagle, Globe, and Anchor” emblem, Desert MARPAT distinctly identifies Marines. 

Replacing 3-color desert, it has been continuously used since its introduction as standard issue for operations in desert settings. Desert MARPAT has been crucial in key conflicts such as the Iraq War and operations in Afghanistan, offering effective camouflage and maintaining the distinctive identity of Marine forces in challenging desert landscapes.

The USMC Eight Point Utility Cap

The 8-point utility cover is a key component of the US Marine Corps and Navy uniforms. This hat merges functionality with tradition. It resembles a baseball cap and is crafted for a sharp look. 

Eight-pointed covers evolved from US Army field caps and railroad engineer caps. 

Early Marine Corps versions were made of herringbone twill (HBT) until approximately 1959 and later cotton sateen. Modern versions are made from a durable nylon and cotton ripstop or a warmer twill fabric, catering to diverse environments. 

This utility cover, featuring ventilation eyelets and embroidered with the Marine Corps EGA, continues to embody the enduring spirit and history of the USMC.
