Camouflage Daguet
Camouflage Daguet is the French military's current desert camouflage.[1] It is the desert variant of Camouflage Central-Europe.
History
Although it was introduced in 1989, this French desert camouflage model is commonly known as "Daguet" because it is closely associated with Operation Daguet,[2] where French conventional forces used it for the first time.[3]
Prior to the adoption, the French military never considered another camouflage uniform again because of their association with their colonial conflicts.[2]
Pattern
Camouflage Daguet worn by a French officer, middle, during Operation Barkhane in 2016.
Introduced in 1988, consisting of broad horizontal tan and brown stripes on a sandy background. The Daguet pattern has been issued in separate uniforms for French troops deployed in countries/territories with desert terrain.[1][4]
