The AUSCAM CAMO patterns, available on CAMO HQ, trace their origins to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in the 1980s, where they were developed to provide effective concealment in the country’s unique landscapes. Characterized by its distinctive “bunny ear” or “jellybean” shapes, AUSCAM was designed for arid, woodland, and tropical environments, leading to variations such as Desert AUSCAM and DPCU (Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform). Over time, similar dot-based camouflage patterns have been developed by other nations, including Portugal, China, and New Zealand, each adapting the concept to their specific climates and operational needs. While the original AUSCAM has been phased out in favor of modern multi-terrain patterns, its legacy remains strong. The AUSCAM CAMO collection on CAMO HQ features authentic reproductions and modern adaptations, making it an essential choice for collectors, military enthusiasts, and those seeking battle-proven Australian camouflage designs.
