Camouflage US Desert (3 Color Desert)
US Desert, also known as 3 Color Desert, is a desert camouflage pattern developed as a successor to 6 Color Desert Pattern. It was created in 1990 and officially introduced in 1992 for operations in the Middle East. The pattern is based on three colors: beige, pale green, and brown, which allowed for a simplification of the micro-pattern and a reduction in contrast compared to its predecessor. This color scheme proved to be more effective in arid, sandy environments, while also better at dealing with the problem of fabric overheating. This camouflage was widely used by the US armed forces, including during the Desert Storm operation, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.
