Urban camouflage

Urban camouflage is the use of camouflage patterns chosen to make soldiers and equipment harder to see in built-up areas, places such as cities and industrial parks, during urban warfare.^[1]^[2]

Several armed forces have developed urban camouflage patterns. Some are in use with paramilitary forces.

Urban Camouflage Patterns. This project would develop various camouflage patterns for use in urban areas. Patterns would include harsh and soft geometric patterns as well as soft, random curves utilized in the current Army field camouflage patterns.

Standard camouflage pattern painting of equipment is not as effective inbuilt-up areas as a solid, dull, dark color hidden in shadows. Since repaintingvehicles before entering a built-up area is not always practical, the lightersand-colored patterns should be subdued with mud or dirt.
