The International Camouflage Uniform Society (ICUS) was an association of collectors, researchers, curators, and historians with a mutual interest in the study of international military camouflage patterns and combat uniforms. Our Society was created in the year 2000 and, at the time, maintained the largest database of research material on camouflage patterns and uniforms in the world. Our membership included scholars and collectors from around the world. ICUS functioned for years as a venue for research, a reference for collectors and historians, and an exchange network for purposes of trading, buying, and selling of uniforms and accoutrements.
The primary purpose of the Society was to encourage knowledgeable individuals to exchange information about the history, development, usage, and identification of military combat uniforms and camouflage patterns dating from their earliest origins into the present era, and to disseminate this information to the greater international collecting community. By combining our members’ experience, knowledge, and resources the Society aimed to build upon a documented identification system from which to engage in dialogue, catalogue our respective collections, and educate the world. As such, we strove primarily to recruit members with moderate to advanced collecting experience, as well as dedicated researchers, curators, authors, and other professionals, either with an extensive knowledge base or with an area of specialization that is complementary to the group.
The ICUS website ceased to operate in the 2010s but a number of prominent members went on to publish valuable research as well as create and maintain the Camopedia website. We continue to maintain a social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Discord.
