-* A new camouflage pattern for the Norwegian Armed Forces was initially revealed in 2023 as part of the 75th Anniversary of the Nowergian Home Guard ''(Heimevernet)'' alongside the Nordic Combat Uniform design, shared by neighboring Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The new pattern incorporates a color palette very similar to the long-standing M/98 design, but combining smaller, fractal or "fleck" shapes in darker hues, printed over larger sections of lighter colors. A two-color camouflage design, printed on clothing designed to wear outside the standard combat layers, has also been introduced for Norwegian Forces operating in heavy snow environments. Both patterns would enter service by late 2024.

In mid-January 2025, the first issue of new M23 uniforms was received by military personnel stationed in the Finnmark region of Norway (in the extreme north).

-Norwegian special operations forces - Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK) in Afghanistan from 2002-2003 were seen using both Six-Color ("chocolate chip") and Tricolor desert camouflage combat uniforms prior to the widespread release of the M/03 pattern. Some of these uniforms were notably worn during Operation Anaconda in 2002.
+* Designed by Norwegian company Jerven in 1982, the ''Jervenduk'' ("Wolverine Cloth") is a multipurpose cold-weather accessory designed specifically for the Norwegian geography and climate. Originally intended for use by hunters and outdoorsmen, ''Jervenduk'' (also called the Jerven Bag) has been available in multiple camouflage patterns and color palettes. It can function as an insulated sleeping bag, blanket, shelter, poncho, windbreaker, tent, camouflage cover, or in multiple other uses. The most commonly seen pattern in use by Norwegian Army and Home Guard personnel is the "Mountain" pattern, a complex, photorealistic design intended to mimic the lichen-covered mountains and fjords of Norway, and incorporating multiple shades of gray, green, and brown. While not officially issued by the Norwegian Armed Forces, it has been authorized for private purchase by the Home Guard since the mid-1980s, and has been purchased at the unit level by Norwegian Army special units. It is most commonly seen used by Norwegian Army scouts, snipers, anti-tank, and anti-aircraft personnel, who can be required to maintain static positions in freezing temperatures for long periods of time.

-* A camouflage pattern for the Norwegian Air Force was introduced in the early 1980s and ceased in 1996. The pattern is the same as that of the [[Denmark|Danish Army]] scarves, using a different colorway, and was worn by Air Force ground defence & ground crew personnel. Some versions of the pattern appear more green, while others have a stronger brownish tint.
+* A camouflage pattern for the Norwegian Air Force was introduced in the early 1980s and worn by many air force personnel until replaced by the adoption of the M98 uniform for all services. The pattern is the same as that of the [[Denmark|Danish Army]] scarves, but uses a different colorway. Norwegian sources refer to this as the ''Luftvorsvarets Arbeidsuniform,'' or Air Force Working Uniform. Some versions of the pattern appear more green, while others have a stronger brownish tint.

	* Circa 1998 a new style uniform was fielded for the Norwegian Army - the M/98 pattern. This uniform used essentially the same camouflage pattern as the M/75, although the colors are different. A ripstop version of the standard combat uniform was introduced in 2004, printed using the same colorway. As with earlier Norwegian patterns, subtle color differences are found among different production runs.		* Circa 1998 a new style uniform was fielded for the Norwegian Army - the M/98 pattern.
