Barbados is an island nation of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean and a member of the British Commonwealth. Once a colonial possesion of Portugal, it came under English control in 1625. As with many Caribbean nations, black slaves were imported during the colonial period, primarily to work on sugar plantations, and high percentage of the present population can trace their lineage to these indentured people. The nation was granted independence from Britain in 1966.

The Barbados Defence Force (BDF) is the combined armed forces of this nation, and consists of the Barbados Regiment (an infantry unit), Barbados Coast Guard, Force Headquarters, and a cadet corps.

* Members of the Barbados Regiment wear the [[United Kingdom|British]] Soldier 95 type [[DPM]] pattern camouflage.

-* Elements of the BDF, including the Barbados Regiment, adopted a unique green-dominant [[digital patterns|pixelated camouflage design]] in 2018, incorporating black, brown, olive green and yellowish-khaki colors. This uniform has replaced all previous issued designs. It appears at least two color prints of this pattern have been circulating within the Regiment, one having a slightly darker color palette to the other. Both have been documented as legitimately issued in the BDF.

It is worth noting that the darker colored variation also has the letters "BDF" embedded into the pattern, suggesting this may have been a later incarnation of the design.
