French Lizard D Algerian War CAMO

Lizard D Algerian War Camo is a camouflage pattern used by French forces during the Algerian War (1954-1962), a conflict between France and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). This pattern was derived from the French "Lizard" (Leopard) camouflage, itself an evolution of the British Brushstroke patterns used during World War II. Designed for counter-insurgency and jungle warfare, Lizard D featured horizontal brushstroke-like stripes in green and brown over a tan base, optimized for the arid, mountainous, and scrubland environments of Algeria. It became closely associated with French paratroopers (Les Paras) and Foreign Legion units, who played a key role in the conflict. The version of Lizard D Algerian War Camo featured on CAMO HQ is inspired by this historical military design, preserving its distinctive aesthetic while adapting it for collectors, reenactors, and commercial applications.
