Malta became part of the British Empire in the early 19th century, and was an important shipping way-station and fleet headquarters for the British Navy. In 1964, the island nation was granted independence from Britain, although it remains a member of the British Commonwealth. Since 1974, the nation has officially been known as the Republic of Malta ''(Repubblika ta' Malta).'' The flag of Malta includes a small depiction of the British George Cross, awarded collectively to the people of Malta after resisting Axis efforts to sieze the island during the Second World War.

The Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) are the combined defense services of this nation, including ground, naval and air elements, with approximately 2000 active duty personnel.

== Camouflage Patterns of Malta ==

* The [[USA|US]] m81 [[woodland]] camouflage is the standard battledress pattern of the 1st Regiment, AFM, the nation's primary infantry and territorial defence unit. In instances when it would be more appropriate, the 1st Regiment also wears the US tricolor desert pattern.

* Members of C (Special Duties) Company, 1st Regiment, the nation's Quick Reaction Force, wear British [[DPM]] pattern camouflage.
