Battle Dress Uniform
It was not until 1981 that the Army approved another camouflaged uniform. That year it officially introduced the M81 [[Battle Dress Uniform]] (BDU) in [[U.S. Woodland|Woodland]] pattern, an enlarged and slightly altered version of ERDL, to supply all arms of the U.S. military. The last batches of the ERDL-patterned fatigues saw service into the 1980s, notably during [[Operation Eagle Claw]], peacekeeping operations in Beirut, and the [[invasion of Grenada]].
