Georgia (საქართველო) is a sovereign country in the Caucasus region of Asia, but from 1936 until 1991 was a socialist republic (GSSR) within the Soviet Union. Typical Soviet-designed camouflage patterns were employed until 1992, when variations unique to the region and the Georgian Armed Forces were introduced. Beginning in 2001, a variety of foreign-produced camouflage designs entered into service, including surplus uniforms from the USA, Germany and Turkey, as well as Asian-made copies of contemporary US patterns such as MARPAT and the Universal Camouflage Pattern.
Georgian Camouflage Patterns
- The armed forces of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic have been documented as wearing a brown variant of the Soviet TTsKO tricolor woodland pattern. Uniforms were probably made in Russian or Ukrainian factories.

- Between 1992 and 1995, variations of the Russian dubok (little oak) or VSR pattern camouflage were worn by Georgia. These were probably imported from Russian factories.

- First documented during the fighting in Abkhazia (1992-93), a unique "swirl" camouflage pattern is known to have been worn by some units of the Georgian armed forces. A dark green and brown swirled pattern on a khaki background, the uniforms were produced in Ukraine and were also exported to Moldova.
- Another variation of the Soviet TTsKO tricolor pattern was also first documented during this period. This pattern having dark green and brown whorled shapes on a khaki background, is apparently unique to the Georgian armed forces, and was produced in Ukraine.
