Camouflage Europe Centrale

The Camouflage Europe Centrale is the standard camouflage pattern of the French military.

Camouflage Europe Centrale (CEC) was introduced in 1991, replacing both, TAP 47 pattern camouflage and khaki F2 uniform dresses. It is a four-colour pattern of woodland shapes optimised for French forests.

The CEC pattern is used by the French military and was also used by Austrian peacekeepers in Bosnia-Herzegovina (2004)

The most commonly worn parade dress consists of camouflage uniforms worn with coloured kepis, sashes, fringed epaulettes, fourragères and other traditional items on appropriate occasions.
