Tropentarn, formerly known as Wüstentarn, is a camouflage pattern used by the Bundeswehr in arid and semi arid regions.[1] It is the desert variant of the Flecktarn 5-color temperate climate camouflage print of the Bundeswehr.

History[]

In 2013, it was reported that Denmark had considered the Tropentarn as a replacement for the M84 camouflage pattern.[2] It was decided later on that MultiCam would be used, under the name M/11.[3]

Pattern[]

Tropentarn's official name is 3 Farben-Tarndruck der Bundeswehr[4] (3-color camouflage print of the Bundeswehr) – Instead of the 5-color scheme of greens, brown, and black of temperate Flecktarn, Tropentarn uses only three colors: a base color of 70% khaki tan with 20% medium brown and 10% dark green spots.[4]
