Description: The Republican Guard were the elite "shock troops" of the Iraqi military, better trained, disciplined, and equipped than the rest of their army. During the Second Gulf War, Republican Guard troops were issued a striking desert spot camouflage uniform, which was the last camo pattern issued to Saddam's forces before the fall of the regime. In late 2003, the newly reformed Iraqi military, which was now working in conjunction with the United States, formed the 36th Commando Battalion, a 500-man strong special operations unit was akin to the US Army Rangers. They deployed to Fallujah in November 2004 to help US Marines drive out the anti-government insurgents from the city. 36th Commando Battalion troops also wore that iconic Iraqi desert spot camouflage. This pair of Iraqi Army GWOT REPUBLICAN GUARD DESERT SPOT CAMO COMBAT PANTS are in MINT condition, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or damage of any kind to the crisp 100% cotton construction. Most interestingly, they measure to a Size 34 Waist x 27 Inseam, retain 100% of the vibrant desert spot camouflage colors, and sport all of the original dark green plastic buttons throughout. They feature a button fly, button fold over belt loops, slash entry "hand warmer" pockets at the front waist, and matching camo ankle tie tapes, and are a beautiful example of rare, original Iraqi Army GWOT REPUBLICAN GUARD DESERT SPOT CAMO COMBAT PANTS. We have shown a photo of two Iraqi 36th Commando Battalion soldiers during Operation Iraqi Freedom, alongside almost certainly an American operator, with all three men wearing nearly identical desert spot camouflage uniforms.
