MARPAT: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern) is a digital camouflage pattern in use by the United States Marine Corps. The pattern comprises of a number of small pixels of color. In theory it is a far more effective camouflage than standard uniform patterns, due to the blending of colors.

There are three MARPAT patterns: woodland, desert, and urban. The woodland and desert patterns are currently in use by the Marines Corps, while the urban pattern was never approved.
