		+	* There is some photographic evidence indicating the pattern seen here was worn on a limited basis by the SVRSK. Close examination reveals it is not really a camouflage pattern at all, but consists of overlapped images of Orthodox churches in subdued colours. There is no evidence suggesting this design was actually developed for military purposes, but in many cases during the civil war period civilian or non-standard items were put to military use due to limited availability of more appropriate gear. This is probably one such example.

 The Republic of Serbian Krajina (Република Српска Крајина, or ''Republika Srpska Krajina'',) was created in 1990 within the borders of present day [[Croatia]] and supported by the Socialist Federal Republic of [[Yugoslavia]] during the Croatian War of Independence. The unrecognized state ceased to exist in 1995 after Croatian forces overran the majority of its territory and declared itself the Republic of Croatia.
-Aside from the Yugoslavian National Army (JNA), there were two primary Serbian Krajina forces opposing the Croatian bid for independence: the Serbian Army of the Republic of Serbian Krajina ''(Srpska vojska Republike Srpske Krajine - SVRSK)'' - or Krajina Serb Army - and the Krajina Police ''(Milicija Krajine - MK),'' the latter of which included Special Police units ''(Specijalne jedinice milicije - SJM).'' Although Serbian Krajina units wore distinctive insignia, they were outfitted by Yugoslavia and used the same equipment as the JNA and Yugoslavian Police. This extended to the use of camouflage uniforms, nearly all of which were Yugoslavian in origin.

 * The Krajina Territorial Defence Force, the short-lived predecessor to the Krajina Serb Army, was initially outfitted in tiger stripe or [[lizard]] pattern camouflage uniforms of the JNA and MUP. The green variants illustrated here were the most commonly seen. These designs were also worn by some units of the Krajina police.
