Frog Skin was the USA’s first significant standard/mass issued camo pattern, but it didn’t actually last all that long.
Only manufactured for a couple of years during WW2, it famously saw significant use in the Pacific theatre, but was also worn on the western front in Europe. There was some very limited application of the pattern to smaller items like helmets covers in Korea, but the US mostly went back to OD green until the proliferation of ERDL/Woodland many decades later.
Variants of this pattern became known as Duck Hunter on account of being used by various manufacturers of hunting apparel on their garments from the 50s-80s.

Much more recently, the resurgence of interest in all sorts of previously unavailable patterns has caused various companies to newly manufacture uniforms and LBE in Frog Skin, using new printed fabrics. Results vary.
Spiritus has made just a few small/limited batches of their Fanny SACK pouches in this pattern, which fortunately is one of the more faithful recreation of the camouflage.
