The new version now has small regions of very dark chocolate brown, larger regions of khaki, and a base color that is off-white (in some light it almost appears pale blue).

 The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) includes branches equivalent to those of the conventional forces (Ground Forces and Navy), as well as the Aerospace Forces, the Quds Force (special operations/military intelligence) and the ''Basij'' paramilitary volunteer force. Within the ''Basij'' are some special units ''Fatehin'' that receive advanced military training and are considered a type of special operations force. The stated purpose of the IRGC is to preserve the integrity and sovereignty of the country, but its unstated purpose is to provide a loyal military force large and powerful enough to thwart efforts by the conventional forces to topple the Islamic regime (i.e. to prevent coups d'etat).

-* Since at least 2015, the green-dominant pixelated camouflage pattern seen here has been worn by elements of the IRGC Air and Space Force (نیروی هوافضای سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی), mostly by the security forces assigned to missile bases. The pattern includes traces of black, along with brown and pale green shapes on a forest green background.
+* A ceremony was held in March 2023 to reveal a new camouflage design for the IRGC. The new pattern features a color palette well suited to semi-desert and very arid regions, incorporating blotch-like shapes in several shades of brown and tan as well as olive green on a sand-colored background.

This pattern can be found on personnel of the Road Protection and Urban Development Unit, and the Land Affairs Management Unit.
