The current Lithuanian M05 Misko (forest) four color pattern was first adopted in 2002, and has since become the standard operational uniform for the Ground Forces. Several color and fabric variations have been documented, and the pattern itself has experienced mild alterations as well. A hidden feature within the design itself is the "double-cross" (Cross of Lorraine) motif embedded into the motif. The cross has been part of the Lithuanian coat-of-arms since the country became independent from the USSR, but the image itself can be traced back to the fourteenth century.
