The first camouflaged uniforms used by the Danish Army were WW2 era tanker suits received from the British government. After the Second World War, the Danish Army was equipped with British uniforms (battledress) and equipment. Later (1958) the M/58 uniform was introduced - a plain green uniform.
The first camouflage uniform developed in Denmark was the T/78 - it was based on the German flecktarn pattern (tested during Truppenversuch 76 in 1976). The T/78 was just a test uniform, but the experiences gained by this uniform were used in developing the M/84 pattern that was introduced as the standard camouflage for the Danish Army in 1984. The M/84 pattern was later made in a desert version as well. Many different pieces of equipment and uniforms have been made in the M/84 and M/84 desert patterns.
