MERDC camouflage


MERDC camouflage is a system of standardized camouflage paint schemes for military vehicles developed by the US Army Mobility Equipment Research & Development Center during the 1970s. 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 color reference. The colors and pattern scheme could be adjusted as the environments changed. Military modelers often emulate the schemes when painting model [military vehicle|models] and soldiers.
