Iraqi police blue digital camo combat uniform

Beginning around 2008, Iraq imported blue digital camouflage uniforms in the style of ACU uniforms for their Federal Police and regular Police personnel. They are mostly made from ripstop and have the yellow Chinese export tags seen in other iraqi uniforms. These uniforms are widely seen in photos and footage during the war against ISIS, and are currently worn by the Federal and Regular Police today.

The uniform above is one of the rarer versions of the Iraqi Federal Police uniforms. The jacket is in the regular ACU cut but the pants mimic the G3 style which includes inserts for knee pads and certain pocket positioning. The uniform is also not made from Ripstop and does not have the regular yellow Chinese manufacturing tags.

This particular Federal Police uniform is very interesting because is nearly identical to 5.11 copies seen in use by the Iraqi military during this period, just with a different tag (Check them out here). This was sourced out of Iraq in 2018, placing its use during the War on ISIS time frame.

Regular Police

WAR ON ISIS (2013 - 2019): YES
POST ISIS (2019 -): YES

This uniform is in the same style as the standard iraqi Federal Police uniform, but instead is in a lighter camo shade. Lighter blue camouflage patterns are typical of regular Iraqi police forces rather than the Federal Police, which normally wears darker blue camo. The uniform above was imported from China for the Regular Iraqi Police.
