The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)

Established by Congress in 2000, The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile; works to reduce the global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and militarily effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad. The National Nuclear Security Administration, also manages the Office of Secure Transportation (OST), responsible for the transport and protection of Nuclear warheads and other sensitive materials. They engage in counterrorism in nuclear threats overseas and assisting in securing oversea nuclear stockpiles of both United States assets and allies. Over two thousand three hundred heavily-armed protective forces provide security for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) at six different sites with long term missions to store and process weapons-grade nuclear materials, what is classified as one of America's highest security threats. Since September 11th 2001, DOE has sought to 

transform its protective forces into an elite tactical response fighting force similar to agencies with training and capabilities similar to the U.S. military.

MARPAT (Marine Pattern)

MARPAT, short form for Marine Pattern, was a camo first conceived as a concept in 2001, and was eventually adopted between 2001 to 2002 as part of the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform program (MCCUU). The camo itself is made up of pixel generated designs, directly inspired and based around Canadian CADPAT (your favorite relish). Theoretically as a result, this allows it to exceed traditional camo fabric patterns by copying textures and jagged boundaries found in the environments it is used in. MARPAT also holds an intimidation factor, as used exclusively by the Marines, as it is intended to strike fear into OPFOR who see it and recognize their adversary by the aforementioned branch.
