The Camouflage Central-Europe (French: Camouflage Centre-Europe) is the standard camouflage pattern of the French Armed Forces.[1]

It is also used for vehicles of the French Army but with different shapes, since 1986,[2] it took six years to generalize it to the entire military fleet. It is now being replaced since 2020 by the "Scorpion Camouflage" which is intended for new generation vehicles.[3]

History[]

Camouflage Central Europe (CCE) was introduced in 1991,[4] replacing both TAP 47 pattern camouflage and khaki F2 uniforms as used by the French military. It is a four-colour (Beige, black, brown, and green), pattern of woodland shapes optimised for French forests.

Two variants of the CCE are used in French military uniforms, which consist of the Uniform T3 and the Uniform T4.[5]

In 2019, the Tenue Combat F3 uniform was announced to be the standard uniform in CCE for the French Army.[6]

Design[]

The French Army's Tenue De Combat F3 uniform in CCE.

It is suggested that the design of the CCE was primarily based around the summer foliage of Fontainebleau forest.[7] The design is made of black branches and large horizontal medium green and brown colored elements on a tan background,[7] being inspired by the U.S. Woodland pattern.[8]
