Morning (I guess afternoon in Italia) Avus,
Short answer, DCUs and Woodland IBAs were still being worn in 2004..
Desert Camo IBAs were available in about July'04 and later. They were slowly issued to troops going to Iraq. If you were already there and had a Woodland IBA, you kept it.. US Army never used the all tan (Cayote Brown) IBA. It was only worn by USMC.
Army digital camo uniforms, the ACU (Advanced Combat Uniform) was not issued till APR '05 and is still in the fielding process. As of Apr '05, all units going to Iraq were issued 4 sets of ACUs to go with their DCU. Both ACU and DCUs are still worn in Iraq.
