The US Army Tropical Combat Uniform, officially the M1967 Jungle Utility Uniform, commonly called "jungle fatigues", was issued to troops fighting in the [[Vietnam War]] beginning in 1964. It initially used the same OG-107 color as the standard utility uniform, but was of a different design and construction. Made out of lighter weight cotton poplin, the uniform consisted of trousers with [[cargo pants|cargo pocket]]s on each leg and a [[bush jacket]]-style top with slanted chest pockets and two lower pockets. The uniform was revised multiple times during the war in response to issues with the design, and later in the war, versions using [[ERDL pattern]] camouflage were issued to special forces and Marines.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mooremilitaria.com/utilities-fatigues.html|title=Utilities/Jungle Fatigues|website=Moore Militaria|access-date=June 21, 2023}}</ref>
