History

In 2013, it was reported that Denmark had considered the Tropentarn as a replacement for the M84 camouflage pattern.[2] It was decided later on that MultiCam would be used, under the name M/11.[3]

Pattern

Tropentarn's official name is 3 Farben-Tarndruck der Bundeswehr[4] (3-color camouflage print of the Bundeswehr) – Instead of the 5-color scheme of greens, brown, and black of temperate Flecktarn, Tropentarn uses only three colors: a base color of 70% khaki tan with 20% medium brown and 10% dark green spots.[4]
