Currently waiting for a response from New Zealand Defence Force, they must respond promptly and normally no later than (details and exceptions).
From: A. Mosley
Dear New Zealand Defence Force,
I would like to the request the designs for the NZDPM Ripstop Pattern, specifically the designs behind the pattern itself and the colouring used. If possible some background on the development of it. Its a unique camouflage pattern which was well known and associated with being 'Kiwi'. Its been over a decade since it was last in used with the NZDF, so I believe that there should be no reason for this request to be denied.
Yours faithfully,
A. Mosley
