The term "woodland" is generally applied to the US m/81 "Woodland" camouflage pattern introduced in 1981 -- which itself was derived from the m1948 ERDL pattern -- and all of its derivatives. The US "Woodland" camouflage design retained the same colorway as the 2nd generation (transitional) ERDL design with a 60% enlargement of the original drawings. The m81 woodland pattern has been one of the most duplicated and modified camouflage patterns ever designed, seeing service with military forces around the world and continuing to be worn today.
