Iraq War uniform advice - Iraq Amy???
« on: September 01, 2010, 02:02:22 AM »

I am goung to buy 1 platoon of Us troops and 1 or 2 Bradleys in 15mm from QRF for modern urban skirmish. Their opponents should be Iraq army of 2003. So I need advice on Iraq uniform. What does it looke like? (I know that now its some sort of partizan warfare in Iraq but in begining of War US fought with regular Iraq troops). I know there are not Iraq infantry on QRF site, but maybe I can use some of their Arab-Izrael sirian and egyptian infantry?
Some photos of Iraq infantry will be appreciated :)

for your basic Iraq trooper you cant go wrong with an olive drab uniform with an on covered helment Russian Steel pot helement so yeah the QRF syrians should work.
I have pic's of Iraq's that we were training up a year ago if you want som more uptodate pics.  :)

Not an easy question to answer. The basic uniform was olive green, which was quite dark when new, but fades out to a variety of colours with washing. Helmets were the same colour, but I've seen some pics were a much lighter and brighter colour has been used, presumably to fit in with the different colours of fauna over the seasons perhaps? Where berets were worn, the Republican Guard wore maroon or red and the regular army black. There were some camouflage uniforms, but I haven't any idea what they were like.
