This woodland-style camouflage has been observed in common usage with North Korean forces, even as helmet covers on ceremonial troops wearing service dress uniforms. Mountain troops are wearing a woodland-based camouflage designed for snow-covered and mountainous regions, incorporating shades of grey on a white background. This pattern would later be replaced by a pixelated design. Photographic evidence suggests the pattern was introduced in 2017, in use with both conventional troops and special operations forces.
