This is the uniform hat was the transition between the BDU and the ACU. It features modifications that were to be implemented in the ACU such as Manderin Collar, Sleeve Pockets, Two chest pockets, Pen Pockets on the sleeve and Zip and Velcro Closure.
The CCU Uniforms were also used to trial different camouflage patterns to determine the best option, the result was the ACU pattern.
This is the version in the Skorpian pattern submitted by Crye Associates (that has since become the commercial Multicam Pattern) that was used in Stateside trials.
