German Flecktarn Spring CAMO

An increased German presence in peacekeeping efforts around the world during the mid-1990s sparked an interest in developing a modified uniform for wear in tropical, hot weather climates. This resulted in the adoption of a another version of the Funf Farben Tarndruck der Bundeswehr (five color camouflage of the Bundeswehr) which has also been nicknamed Tropentarn. Printed on lighter weight fabric for issue on deployments in hot weather climates, the tropical or hot weather uniform uniform was adopted in 2001. The pattern itself represents only a slight modification in the coloration of the standard Flecktarnmuster.
