WELCOME TO CAMOPEDIA




The Camopedia website is a living document, providing a comprehensive, accurate,
and academically-supported database referencing all of the major military and
paramilitary camouflage patterns that have been in use around the world since
the beginning of the 20th century. This reference is available as a free
resource for historians, government agencies, military personnel, collectors,
artists & designers, airsoft & MILSIM enthusiasts, military modelers, and all
others with an interest in camouflage design, development, and history.

This website and all it contains is copyrighted 2010-2022 -- All rights
reserved. We ask that a courteous reference to Camopedia please be made whenever
you choose to cite, paraphrase, or otherwise utilize the information presented
here in any other format. This includes blog entries, videos, forum posts,
printed matter, et al. All text and photographs (except where specifically
credited to other sources) on this site remain our exclusive intellectual
property.

Although we have been inspired and assisted by numerous other scholars and
researchers, the contents presented here are primarily based on the conclusions
of our own independent research. Whenever possible, we have made every effort to
independently verify traditional sources of identification, and in many cases
have made discoveries that are presented to the public here for the first time.
In a very few instances, we have opted to make educated inferences regarding the
identification of certain designs or samples taken from extant specimens; these
cases are noted individually as unverified whenever possible. Primary sources
for our data include: information from official government or military
publications and nomenclature, period photographs from a variety of primary
sources, physical specimens (with provenance), published material, and
unpublished material from academic or military sources that can be verified.
This site prides itself on having rigid standards for verification, and although
our sources are not always cited nor every piece of evidence presented, the
visitor can rest assured that such documentation has been vetted and would be
available for review in the event some information presented here was
questioned. For a thorough explanation of the methodology developed specifically
for this site, please refer to the special section on Research Methodology for
Camouflage Uniform Collectors.

Although we have done our best to give credit for supportive source material
when appropriate, all of the text presented here is our own and we take full
responsibility for any errors or mistakes encountered. As a living document,
sections of the site are constantly being updated as new information becomes
available to us.

We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of fellow collectors, historians,
military personnel, and published authors - particularly fellow members of the
International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS) and the Camopedia Patreon - for
their support, contributions, and assistance in clarifying data for this site.
Where appropriate, these individuals are credited individually in the
appropriate sections or on the Donors page.

Original submissions, corrections and supplemental information are welcomed and
appreciated, in order for the site to expand. Individuals whose input
substantially adds to the content of individual pages will be credited in the
appropriate section(s). We encourage anyone with clear photographic examples of
patterns not represented herein (or those represented only by photographs
borrowed from the public domain) to submit them so we may add to and improve the
site. Any data to be considered for inclusion on this site should be
appropriately documented with source material. By submitting materials
(including photographs) to this site, you have granted us permission to use them
in perpetuity, free of charge, and without any guarantee of credit or
acknowledgement.

COUNTRIES

We have based the organization of this site on the geographical and composition
system utilized by the United Nations. As with most classification systems, this
one is not perfect and may cause some confusion or consternation with the
occasional visitor to our site. Please understand we utilize the system only to
maintain a standard, and not as a symbol of embracing a particular political
outlook. We understand that a few of the countries listed here consider
themselves part of a different region or continent, and respect the cultural
significance of this affiliation. For reference purposes the United Nations'
classification system can be found here: United Nations Geographical Regions

DEDICATION

This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jean F. Borsarello, Mr. Michael
Powlen, and Mr Yves Debay - mentors, colleagues and friends. Each of these
distinguished gentlemen made significant contributions to the field of military
camouflage studies at a time when very little research was available from any
sources, so it is to them we owe a huge debt of gratitude. Their devotion to
this obscure field of study is a model we may all hope to emulate.
