Re: Taiwan "Han Kuang" Military Exercise

I think these are males:

I guess the bright colours also serves as a precaution as these are live fire exercises.

They are still using TOWs? Isn't that an old piece of kit that the US military stopped using sometime ago?

By the way, I think the name of the area where the exercise is held "Pingtung" (rather than Pington). Here's what the city in that county looks like on Google maps:

Must mean Duty Combat Utility not Desert Combat uniform. Lets See here pixilated Camo pattern is a Woodland color tone with urban grey and flat dark earth Possibly a attempt at Universal or just a woodland well the ROC camo people work up a new desert pattern. Chest pockets are ACU style with shoulder pockets closer of a smaller size this means it's better suited for wear with armor or load vests. no lower front shirt pockets so a soldier has a easier time of tucking the shirt into the trousers as sometimes done in combat. Angled Cargo pockets for easy use in seated or standing position.
lay flat collar with rank and Specialty means stuff can still slip in under the shirt. Sow on insignia and Name Service tapes the patrol cap is Khapi style with what looks too be embroidered National emblem.

I rank it as Fare too good. slightly more Garrison then combat.
the Unit patches might cause some trouble as the camo pattern will pretty much wash it out so that seems useless. The boots have the pattern in there soft shafts but leather toes and laces these seem also a bit of a waste as going too suede boot toe of a compatible color might allow for a little better concealment.

Taiwanese soldiers operate a US-made 240mm howitzer during a drill at a military base on Taiwan's Kinmen Islands on August 22, 2011. Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou plans to preside over a high-profile ceremony in Kinmen on August 23, a Taiwanese-controlled fortified island group off China's southeastern Fujian Province, to honour hundreds of people killed in the 1958 Chinese artillery bombardment.

A Taiwanese soldier stands guard at his frontline pillbox just 1.8 kilometers (0.7 miles) across from China on the eve of the 53rd anniversary of a massive bombing campaign on Taiwan's Kinmen island, Taiwan, Monday, Aug. 22, 2011.

Could DCU mean Dress Combat Uniforms? I know the US Army is BDU for Battle Dress Uniforms, while the US Marines simply called fatigues. It looks like everyone is going with the computer digital pattern these days.
