DPM Desert is a desert variant of the classic British camouflage DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material), developed in the 1980s in response to Britain's increasing involvement in military operations in the Middle East and other arid regions of the world. The pattern retains the characteristic arrangement of irregular patches known from the forest version, but the color scheme has been adapted for desert conditions. The typical so-called “two-tone desert” version used only two colors - light sand and brown - providing effective camouflage against a background of sand, rocks and scorched vegetation. There were also three-color versions, used in different periods and conditions. The DPM Desert was used extensively by the British Armed Forces during operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and in areas of North Africa.
