There are different reasons for wearing variations of camo, and it is important to know which one applies to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hunting camouflage is patterned in a specific way so that hunters can hide from animals but still be visible to other hunters around them. Military camouflage is designed to hide not only from enemies looking for you with binoculars, but also from enemy satellites and\/or digital imaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The differentiations are important to understand and learn in order to wear the proper gear for the proper purpose. It can be dangerous to wear the wrong kind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Military camo comes in various forms of colors and patterns because of evolving technology and landscapes. Uniforms created for desserts are not the same as models that are made for forests. Nearly every year, a new form of uniform comes out in order to continue to protect those wearing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As recently as March of 2020, the pixelated uniform worn mainly in Afghanistan was retired and now soldiers just wear a green and brown uniform. Navy personnel no longer wear the “blueberry” uniform and instead wear a green and black digital uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Americans wore blue coats as a form of camouflage during the Spanish-American war. It was mainly a differentiator between them and the enemy instead of a way to blend in. Brown and green uniforms didn’t become popular until. 1914, when the French wanted to camouflage their weapons from their enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During World War 1, it became even more important to advance clothing technology and wear camouflage because of aerial surveillance. It wasn’t as heavily used by civilians yet, but was put on vehicles and weapons. It wasn’t really standardized until World War 2 when military personnel wore what was originally called the “frog” suit. It was brown and green and covered everything, head to toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time the uniform has taken on several varieties of browns and greens, until the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, when digital printing was created to block out personnel from binoculars and satellite imaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pattern on most modern uniforms involves a pixelated version of camo that blends into the ground to prevent satellites from detecting people on the ground. It is also used on military gear and vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMilitary Camo Coloring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
