I came across this pic of 2 M113A3 in Iraq. The question I have, is the first Vehicle painted all over Nato green or are my eyes playin up? . If so is it Nato green and what units were deployed using this one tone camo pattern.

Any help most wlcome. Cheers

Many of the M113A3s were delivered in overall forest green. Many were not painted in a NATA camouflage pattern. The first one I ran across in 1987 was overall forest green as was the one in my motor pool gallery.
