    If you read the link, it is the EUTM mission. Irish Troops are involved in training the new Somali Security forces in Uganda.
    Maybe uniforms were included in the deal?
    Kampala(Alshahid)- Armed Forces of Malta(AFM) personnel landed in Uganda Saturday morning to join in the European Union’s Training Mission(EUTM) for Somalia military in Uganda.

    The aim of EUTM Somalia is to train Somalia military personnel in an internationally- backed effort to strengthen the UN supported Transitional Federal Government (TFG).

    Spain which heads the EU mission provided the plane that delivered the members of 1 Regiment in Malta armed forces.

    The AFM training facility where the Maltese infantry instructors will be based is Bihanga camp, over 200 km west of Kampala.

    The AFM instructors will join the Irish Defence Forces instructors to form a Maltese-Irish combined training team which is assigned the expert task to train Somali officers in areas such as military leadership skills, infantry tactics and instructional skills.

    Some 2,000 Somali trainees undertaking a course of over 12 months period, are being trained by the EU mission apart from the existing military training programmes being run by Uganda.

    EUTM Somalia is being undertaken in support of the UN Resolution 1872 and it is headquartered in Kampala capital of Uganda.

    Malta has a direct interest in the achievement of peace and stability in Somalia because it plays host to a large number of Somalis seeking third country asylum and those rescued while stranded on the high seas in the central Mediterranean.

    Have a look at the officer on the right. Can anyone identify that camo/uniform? Its VERY similar to Irish DPM.

    Is it not CCE?

    Yeah I know what the link is.
    I don't think it is Irish because the Defence Forces doesn't readily own DPM material to make uniforms from or to give to other people. They have their uniforms made on contract.. and that shirt definitely isn't anything that was ever Irish issue. So I don't think what he's wearing has any Irish origins.

    I thought it was CCE at first, but its definitely not CCE. The 'leaves' on CCE are far bigger than that.

    I've owned a lot of CCE gear over the years and there's loads of different scales. I'm damn near certain it's either CCE or ERDL.

    Definitely not ERDL... but considering you said that CCE comes in different scales that could be what it is. As far as I knew there was just one scale, that being the one that the French Army wear.
