-* At least one series of photographs show Army personnel wearing the [[China|Chinese Type 87 woodland pattern]], with uniforms styled the same as those worn by the PLA. This may have been a stop-gap effort to resupply dwindling stocks of uniforms, or possibly a donation or low-cost opportunity from the factory that produced them.

 * There is some evidence to suggest a limited use of [[Peru|Peruvian Amapat]] camouflage by the ''Nationaal Leger,'' although how prolific this may be remains unknown. Based on the cut and style of uniforms observed, these do not appear to be the same design as worn by Peruvian Armed Forces, but instead are probably sourced from a factory in China. A specific time frame is not known, but photographs show uniforms worn concurrently with old woodland as well as the Spec4CE pixelated patterns.

 * Beginning in November of 2017, members of the Armed Forces began wearing a copy of the Afghanistan National Army Spec4CE pixelated camouflage design. This pattern replaced the earlier adopted darker palette camouflage, although the latter would remain in service with the Commandos of the Special Troops Corps. Suriname-issued uniforms are of a much different design to those worn by Afghan personnel, and the fabric is a cotton blend twill rather than the ripstop found on uniforms of the ANA.

 * The standard battledress uniform pattern of the Army was the m81 [[woodland]] pattern camouflage until roughly 2014-15. Reputedly imported from Brazil, two or more variations have been documented, suggesting that later designs may have originated in China. Although technically discontinued, armed forces personnel have continued to field the pattern into the present era, presumably until existing stocks are exhausted.
