Which Countries Use Each Camouflage Pattern?

By The Brr

This is a list of every unlockable camouflage pattern in Ghost Recon Wildlands, and which real life countries use them. I will only be covering the actual camouflage patterns, not plain colors like olive drab or coyote brown.

I am trying to include only military units, so police units won't be included unless they are from Bolivia.

Included countries wore these camos at least some point in their history. Dates are provided where I could find them.

This is for anybody who likes to theme their character around specific special forces or military groups from different countries.

Information is pulled from Camopedia and Wikipedia. Let me know if anything is incorrect so I can fix it.

I feel like one of the cadpats is the closet you would get to the dutch fractal pattern. Was coming here in hopes someone had any idea on it.

Mum_Ramen 25 Dec, 2024 @ 9:25pm

Example of the camo's would make it easier

GarmrUSAF 2 Oct, 2024 @ 6:57am

a little bit of additional information regarding USAF patterns, the ABU Pattern (digital tigerstripe) was adopted and fielded in 2007, and the woodland BDU pattern was also used from sometime in the 1980s through octoper 31 2011

b0rr31n00tj3 13 Sep, 2024 @ 5:39pm

Some additional info:

- A-TACS AU, The Netherlands. 'Army Special Forces Regiment' doesn't exist, should be 'Korps Commando Troepen'
- Woodland. The Netherlands. In general use at the army and airfoce from '93 (some call it also British DPM, but it's officially called 'woodland' by the manuals).

Also lot's of information at camopedia (dot) org on this topic.
