The movie took place in 2004 and the digital ACU's existed in 2003.

I was a Combat Engineer in Desert Storm. I was amazed at how accurate this movie was compared to many of the same genre. Good movie

I didn't know you were a combat engineer,
So am I.
my unit went 2007-2008
we only got acu's in 2006
the initial field issue was May 2005, but most troops did not receive it until late 2005 or early 2006
i guess they did exist, but I did not know anyone who owned a set until 2006 and he was a geardo that bought them himself.
I was route clearance for a year with a dedicated EOD team, A lot about this movie was completely inaccurate as far as tactics technique and procedure, but a lot of it was pretty good.

Was with the 10th Engineers, 3rd Infantry Division from '87 to 91. I'm sure things have changed quite a bit. I thought the movie was very good and accurate COMPARED to many others of the same genre that are complete bullshit.
Are you civilian now, or are you still in? Nice to meet you
