"Everything you have sent has been such a blessing from the plastic utensils to the blank CDs and memory sticks. Even the simple things are hard to come by out here so every last bit helps and makes it that much easier for us to do our job. Thank you for all you do in support of us and all of our fellow soldiers out here. You are truly a blessing."

Fort Moore, Georgia. (April 27, 2024): In old war films, G.I.s are seen painting their faces with grease to hide themselves from the enemy. Today, so-called “face paint” has come a long way in terms of technology and capability. In this photo by Captain Stephanie Snyder, Captain Moberly with Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 58th Infantry Regiment, 198th Infantry Brigade applies camouflage paint prior to joining a field training exercise. Soldiers apply camouflage paint to their skin to disrupt the human silhouette which helps them blend into the environment.
Interestingly, the human face is the most detectable part of the body and is easily recognized at a distance. The effective use of camouflage helps break up these facial patterns by applying dark paint where light strikes the face (cheek bones and chin) and light colors where the face is shadowed (eyes). Soldiers must also ensure their neck and hands are likewise covered as the slightest movement is a dead giveaway as the light reflects off the skin.
Today’s “face paint,” however, does so much more.
Camouflage potions now shield troops in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as from thermal imaging and insects. Thermal imagers, which operate in the mid- and far-infrared regions of the spectrum, detect the heat “signature” of a combatant. These new camouflage creams minimize the risk of heat-based detection with chemicals to fool infrared sensors.
