Soldiers from the Royal Dragoon Guards have begun wearing the new combat uniforms, which will be issued to all military personnel by 2012.
The camouflage has been trialled in laboratory tests and aerial photography has been used to provide the right colours and brightness for the new camouflage pattern.
The Infantry Trials Unit tested the samples of the MTP camouflage in the UK, Cyprus, Kenya and Afghanistan.
