MERDC camouflage
From The Right Wiki
MERDC camouflage is a system of standardized camouflage paint schemes for military vehicles developed by the United States military's Mobility Equipment Research and Design Command (MERDC) during the 1970s.[1] Each vehicle-specific paint scheme consisted of a color placement pattern and a combination of four out of twelve colors from the Federal Standard 595 (FS595) color reference.[1] The colors and pattern scheme could be adjusted as the environments changed.[1] Military modelers often emulate the schemes when painting models and soldiers.[1]
