Those little dots are supposed to represent stones. It really makes
me wonder why the U.S. never bothered to make use of the vast amount
of practical research in desert camouflage by all sides during the
numerous desert wars between 1940 and the present. It seems that a
pinkish tan monocolor was proven to be the best for this environment.
But do we use that? Noooooooo.  Also a disaster is the woodland camo
with black patches that stand out a mile away. In the military exercises
I have participated in, I have never had the slightest difficulty in
spotting the black, dark browns and blackish green against the far lighter
foilage of a typical forest.
