-* Circa 2012, each main branch of service of the Salvadoran Armed Forces began to integrate its own distinctive [[Digital patterns|pixelated]] camouflage designs, gradually replacing the previously worn organic designs. The version adopted by the ''Ejercito'' incorporates black, dark green and very pale green on a reddish-tan background. It should be noted that photographs suggest two more more minor variations of the design have been produced, probably by different factories or adjustments to the production runs. Some versions appear to have much more distinctive rust elements than others.

+* As early as 1975, limited use was made of [[duck hunter]] spot pattern camouflage by the Army's Commando Company, and later during the Civil War period (1979-1992). A locally-produced design was certainly issued to the US-trained Atlacatl Battalion (created in 1981), although the same pattern may have also have seen continued use with commando units, as well as airborne and other elite infantry units.
