Origin of Camouflage
Dutch Woodland DPM
Dutch DPM was introduced as the standard camouflage for the Netherlands Armed Forces in 1991, replacing decades of plain olive drab uniforms. Based on British DPM but adapted for Dutch environments, its green, brown, black, and tan pattern offered effective concealment in local woodlands and fields.
Adopted as part of the M-93 uniform, Dutch DPM quickly became the norm for army, navy, and marines, with variants for different climates and missions around the world. It remains a recognizable symbol of Dutch peacekeeping and NATO participation, and continues to be popular in the surplus market.
