OG-107, which derived from the color code Olive Green 107 saw action in the Korean War and became the standard for use both in the United States and on overseas deployment by the beginning of the Vietnam War. The fatigue pant, TROUSERS, MEN’S, COTTON SATEEN, OG-107 were in issue until the mid 70s, a testament to their popularity, and were replaced directly by the short-lived poly-blend OG-507 although by 1965, most soldiers in combat were wearing the more technical M-65 pants. As OG-107s faded from the field of combat, they remained integral to the army for nonmilitary assignments and were adopted into civilian life, particularly by those opposed to the War in Vietnam.
