Camouflage
Camouflage is the use of leaves, branches, paints, and clothes for hiding soldiers or military equipment so that they cannot be seen against the area around them.
The word camouflage originated from the Parisian slang term camoufler which means “To Disguise.” This is a natural phenomenon that is used by animals & plants to amalgam themselves into the nearby environment. It refers to the use of a combination of materials, illumination, or coloration, by taking the help of pigments & physical structures of animals & plants to disguise themselves as per their surrounding color and avoid detection.
Following the camouflage phenomenon of plants and animals militant has also started to wear uniforms with camouflage patterns so that they can easily disguise themselves in the nearby environment and hide from the opposition teams. The French army began employing artists to paint their artillery and observation posts in the same patterns as the forest during World War One. Since that time, military organizations around the globe have invented hundreds of different camo patterns to give their troops a tactical advantage
