- US Army Infantry Gear & Weapons from 1983 through 1991 as represented in ARMA 3, a military simulation game. This video talks about the various types of uniforms and equipment used during that time period, which was the beginning use of the PASGT system during the Cold War.
Standard Rifle was the M16A2, with supporting weapons being the M249, M203, and M60. M81 and 6 Color Desert camouflage patterns are presented.
Items are presented as best as possible using the limitations of the ARMA 3 game engine.

I was in from 1986 to 1994 in the infantry. NOBODY seemed to ever use the flack jacket. Nobody called it the PASGT, either. We just called the helmet our Kevlar. Only times I can remember wearing the flack jacket was when I fired two TOW missiles.
I think it really, really depended on the unit. Some units evidently were very, very strict on wearing the flak jacket.
I collect late Cold War military gear like this, so I find this video extremely cool. Thank you for covering this 🙏
Brings back memories . Went to Basic Training June 83, Ft, Knox. Wore those uniforms all the way up to Desert Storm.
Very cool. This uniform system came out after I left the Army but I was very interested in the full camo uniform since the ERTL style came out during Vietnam war years. Never got the chance to wear a full camo uniform except for a short time near the end of my tour in Nam when I had Tiger stripes. I always thought they were especially badass although I could never wear them again officially. *sigh*
What unit were you in, if you don't mind my asking? Not many guys got to wear the tiger stripes.
I really like this style video. I love the history of our uniform.
Been working on a short horror story that involves soldiers set in 1986. While I'm fairly familiar with Nam era equipment and WW2, I'm severely lacking in knowledge from this time period. Funny enough I actually searched CZcams for this exact information and never found this video, yet days later CZcams reccomended it to me.
Anyways thanks a ton for this, I really appreciate it. You should have a much larger sub count and reach, I'm going to my best to help out. Cheers from Finland.
Good stuff, you should have at least a few thousand subscribers, hopefully you are blessed by the algorithm one day
Wow man awesome video, on point
Nice video!
The detail in this is nuts!
Good choice of music, fits the 80s vibe
This viedo was great, i wonder if one about the US ARMY in World war 1 or 2 will be made. Either way great job
Cool! Thanks!
heyy high quality video
Nice video make more pls
I honestly think of 1970ish-1982
Og-107s and woodland camo are both nice, m1s are nice, the early 80s have a nice combo of the woodland camo and vietnam era stuff
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am fairly certain that Delta Force operators were also seen wearing Pro-Tec helmets during Operation Niffty Package in Panama in 1989.
They also wore the "banana suit" for pt.
if you like this then play reforger
Hey, how do you get the ranks to show on the M88?
I have a question. Did the PASGT vest also come in the 6 color desert pattern like the helmet or did it only came with the M81 Woodland pattern?
There were 6 color PASGT, but they were rare. If you look at photos from early GWOT, around 2002 you can see a few of them but even then M81 was the most common.
@@beachhead85 So they only started showing up around the beginning of the 2000s.
@@dylanlloyd7301 They had them in the Gulf War as well, Desert Storm, but again not as widely distributed as M81.
@@beachhead85 Oh! Well thanks. Also was there a snowy white camo uniform during that time and if so, what is it called and was it available for the PASGT helmet and vest?
@@dylanlloyd7301 Hi Dylan, they used "overwhites" which was a light fabric covering they would wear over their uniform. There was also a white cover for the PASGT helmet. Most commonly seen in cold weather exercises was just plain M81 woodland however.
Could do a Modern US Army with the new S&S and RHS
