Desert Night Camo (DNC) is a specialized camouflage pattern created by the United States Army in the 1980s for night operations in desert areas. Designed to be worn as a layer over another uniform, it was primarily used during the Desert Storm operation in the Persian Gulf. The pattern consists of a grid of dark green squares and crosses on an olive-green background. Its main purpose is to disrupt the functioning of early-generation enemy night vision devices. Although it proved moderately effective in image suppression in night vision devices, it represented an innovative approach to night camouflage.
US Desert, also known as 3 Color Desert, is a desert camouflage pattern designed as the successor to the 6 Color Desert Pattern. 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 the simplification of the micro-pattern and reduction of contrast compared to its predecessor. This color combination proved more effective in the barren, sandy environment and was better at addressing the issue of fabric heating. This camouflage was widely used by the US armed forces, including during Operation Desert Storm and in Iraq and Afghanistan.
