Turkish Army M2008 CAMO

Circa 2008, Turkey introduced a brand new camouflage pattern using an arid/desert colorway for issue to some of its personnel. This has since become the standard combat pattern of the Turkish Armed Forces, although some branches and non-combat units continue to use older designs. The pattern incorporates olive green & reddish brown horizontal masses on a khaki background, and was developed by TÜBİTAK (Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu) the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. Uniforms and fabric were designed by noted fashion stylist Arzu Kaprol. This camouflage pattern is worn by all personnel, including non-combatants. A waterproof version is used for ponchos and shelter halves.
