Standard issue for US soldiers in World War 2 what Camo did the US use if any?
Well, friend, during World War II, the standard issue camouflage for US soldiers was known as the M1942 "Frogskin" pattern. This camo featured a mix of green and brown splotches on a khaki background, helping our soldiers blend into various environments. It's important to remember the brave men and women who served during that time and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.
