CSDC National Field Police Camouflage

A Vietnamese-copy of the US Mitchell-Cloud camouflage pattern was worn by the Cảnh Sát Dã Chiến – CSDC or National Police Field Force (NPFF) from 1967 until the end of the war.

Nicknamed Hoa Mâu Dât (earth-colored flower) pattern.

This paramilitary unit primarily assigned to anti-guerrilla warfare, counterinsurgency, humint duties. Between 1967 and 1972 the CSDC was deeply involved in the highly controversial CIA-run Phoenix Program

The camouflage was printed in both Okinawa and Vietnam, my example is from Okinawa and personal tailored.
