 * [[Japan]] adopted a new camouflage design based on the German Army's flecktarn in 1991, which is issued to the entire JNSDF. The pattern features black, brown, and grass green dots on a khaki background. The pattern is often called Jietai (自衛隊) in reference to the indigenous name for the JNSDF. A variation of the pattern for cold and wet-weather uniforms with an inverse ration of green-to-brown, is also in circulation.

 == Flecktarn Camouflage ==
-''Flecktarn'' refers to a family of camouflage patterns featuring a combination of three-, four-, five- or six-colors with small overlapping dots, spots, or "flecks." The word '''Flecktarn''' is derived from the German words ''Fleck'' (spot) and ''Tarnung'' (camouflage). The term was coined by German designers in the 1970s during the ''Bundeswehr Truppenversuch 76,'' or [[Germany|German]] Army Uniform Trials of 1976. Several patterns were tested during the trials, but the one ultimately selected for general issue to the German Armed Forces was ''Flecktarn B'' or ''Flecktarnmuster'' (spot camouflage pattern), a five-color design consisting of light green, light olive green, dark green, reddish-brown, and black, which was adopted in 1989. The official name of the German design is actually ''5 Farben-Tarndruck der Bundeswehr'' or five-color camouflage print of the Bundeswehr. Some evidence suggests that the original Flecktarn camouflage was developed by [[Marquardt and Schultz]] in cooperation with the French company [[Texunion]].

 It has been suggested by some that the Flecktarn design may have been influenced by the [[Germany (Third Reich)|German WW2]] "pea pattern" ([[Erbsenmuster]]), but there is little evidence to substantiate such a claim.
